I am trying to extract text from images using NodeJS but getting this error what I am doing wrong here?

Is there any other reliable library available for extracting text from images?

CodePudding user response：

1. tesseract will not work on a captcha.
2. you use archaic tesseract, but commands for the current version of the tesseract.
