On: Show HN: Tesseract.js – Pure JavaScript OCR for 60 Languages

Is this at all affiliated with the already-existing tesseract OCR library? It doesn't seem to be from my cursory check so if not you need to rename your library, because you're ripping off their name.

It's a wrapper around an Emscripten port of that library. See https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js-core
