How do i use my own/custom chi_sim.traineddata?

Node 20, Next

How do i use this traineddata? where should it go? the docs is too brief about using custom .traineddata files. Can i upload it remotely and pass a url or should i store it in my project and import it? I generally have very blurred understanding of what's going on in this config even after reading the docs

const worker = await createWorker('chi_sim', 1, {
  langPath: '', // ?
  dataPath: '', // ?
})

For Node.js only (not browser), you can point Tesseract.js to a file on your local file system. You would (1) set langPath to the directory that contains the .traineddata files and (2) set the gzip argument to false to tell Tesseract.js to look for .traineddata files rather than .traineddata.gz files.

For example, if the path to one of your files is ./custom_data/chi_sim.traineddata, you could set the following arguments.

  const worker = await createWorker("chi_sim", 1, {
    langPath: './custom_data',
    gzip: false,
  });
