Why my code didn't work...

[smackgg]

My code:

const path = require('path');
const Tesseract = require('tesseract.js');
const myImage = path.resolve(__dirname, 'out.png');
Tesseract.recognize(myImage)
    .progress(message => console.log(message))
    .catch(err => console.error(err))
    .then(result => console.log(result))
    .finally(resultOrError => console.log(resultOrError))

Issues:

/Users/xuyan/Documents/my/node/login/node_modules/tesseract.js/src/index.js:15
class TesseractWorker {

what version of node are you using?

[smackgg]

node -v
v5.1.0

Hi @winnerweb
From the README.md file:
Note: Tesseract.js currently requires node v6.8.0 or greater.
so that's probably it.

[bijection]

Thanks @rowasc!
You're right, @winnerweb you'll need to update node to use Tesseract.js.

[smackgg]

@bijection @rowasc Thanks, I will try it...

[tetreault]

This is what I get for not fully reading the README 🤦‍♂️

I'm getting the same error, but when I put a cordova project.
In angular 5 in desktop it works correctly (With node 9)

[jeromewu]

When you are getting the same error, which node version were you using?

[fjlogrono]

Excuse me, I'm stupid.
I am using local, node version 9.0

But of course, if I add to cordoba the generated in angular CLI, there is no node.

So what I've done is use the CDN.
Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.
