Read text from image

Question

I am planning to make an app using phonegap. This app will read text from image. So my question is that can we read text from images using javascript? I know we can do this using java but I need to do this using javascript.

Thanks in advance

The OCRs in Javascript are not very powerfull. I found a libraries who uses simple Euclidean Distance comparisons. The accuracy is not perfect, but it does do a reasonably good job. Link
