[SOLVED] Tessearct.js not working: Failed to execute 'toBlob' on 'HTMLCanvasElement': Tainted canvases may not be exported

Tessearct.js not working: Failed to execute 'toBlob' on 'HTMLCanvasElement': Tainted canvases may not be exported

I am running this on Chrome and I use a node to set up a server.

Here is my HTML

my javascript (copied from github.com/naptha/tesseract.js/blob/master/docs/examples.md)

const { createWorker } = require('tesseract.js');
const worker = createWorker();
const rectangle = { left: 0, top: 0, width: 500, height: 250 };

(async () => {
  await worker.load();
  await worker.loadLanguage('eng');
  await worker.initialize('eng');
  const { data: { text } } = await worker.recognize(imageURL, { rectangle });
  console.log(text);
  await worker.terminate();
})();

My error is: Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'toBlob' on 'HTMLCanvasElement': Tainted canvases may not be exported.

Here is what I have tried:

added crossOrigin = "Anonymous": it changed nothing
downloaded blueimp-canvas-to-blob
tried running the code alone on the terminal [I get this error "RuntimeError: abort(TypeError: Failed to parse URL from /path_to_project/node_modules/tesseract.js-core/tesseract-core.wasm)") // the file is there!
downloaded and used canvas-to-blob

What can I do to fix this?

Solution

Please use the tesseract.js 2.0.0 version.
