I had the same issue. Downgraded to v2.1.1 and the issue is fixed npm install [email protected]

Downgrading to v2.1.1 didn't solved my issue, but thanks anyway.

In my case, i did this: npm uninstall tesseract.js npm install [email protected] npm install

Me too. I have this code:

async function getText(imageFile: File) {
  Tesseract.recognize(imageFile, "eng", {
    logger: (m) => {
      if (m.progress) {
        setProgress(100 * m.progress);
      }
      // console.log(m);
    },
  })
    .catch((err) => {
      console.error(err);
      setTesseractError(err);
    })
    .then((result) => {
      if (result) {
        const { data } = result;
        setPageData(data);
      } else {
        setPageData(false);
      }
    });
}

in Firefox, Chrome, and desktop Safari it works great. But on Safari iOS it always crashes. I've tried with 2.1.4 and 2.1.3, and, I think, 2.1.1.

Not sure if it matters, but the input image is a .jpeg and I put its src into and <img> first so I know that I can render and see the actual image in my iOS Safari web app.

Encountered similar issue but it only crash on mobile safari. Follow fr3shn3ss and downgraded to 2.1.1 and it worked. Will try other versions.

If this issue is still active, please confirm whether this is an issue with the latest version (v3). The problematic 2.1.2 update that appears to be the issue (given discussion above) was removed, so if downgrading to 2.1.1 resolved then I believe the problem should be solved in the latest version.

Closing given that this appears to have been resolved in an update (see above).
