On Windows 10 and windows 11:

the basic example dos not works well

npm install node-tesseract-ocr
npm install fs.promises

const tesseract = require("node-tesseract-ocr");
const fs = require("fs/promises");

async function main() {
  const img = await fs.readFile("image.png");
  const text = await tesseract.recognize(img);

  console.log("Result:", text);
}

main();

The basic example generate an error :

node index.js
node:events:491
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Install tesseract on your machine first.
Check installation with tesseract -v

I had to restart my IDE and manually add it to the PATH variable.
