I am working on an app using React. I want to be able to load a pic and then have Tesseract.js convert it to text. I am using react-dropzone to load the image file and I can add the image to page with an img tag. But when I try to run the ocr using Tesseract It gives me this error:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < at blob:http://localhost:3000/ccac34f4-1f4a-4ba6-b455-a44345b71012:1 (anonymous) @ blob:http://localhost:3000/ccac34f4-1f4a-4ba6-b455-a44345b71012:1
One post I read said to use a CDN, but then Tesseract is not included in my build process, which throws an error. So I think that I have to include it to use React.

I know it has been a long time for this question, right now tesseract.js@1.0.16 has fixed the issue, and it can be used with any frameworks like react, vue and angular with no more issues.

I had the same issue, and then I had to dig a bit to have it working using the CDN.
Here is what I did, I hope this can help a bit as a workaround:
<script src='https://cdn.rawgit.com/naptha/tesseract.js/1.0.10/dist/tesseract.js'></script>
in index.html inside<head></head>
var Tesseract = window.Tesseract;
in App.jsReference : https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js/issues/134
Try this one:)
1) Install the below node module npm i -S tesseract.ts tesseract.js
2) import Tesseract from 'tesseract.ts'
you are ready to go....
