I’m currently working on a React Native project that requires robust text recognition capabilities, specifically for embossed and dark images. Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Google ML Kit (com.google.mlkit:text-recognition:16.0.0): While it works well for standard text recognition, it struggles with embossed images and dark backgrounds.

Tesseract.js: It provides good text recognition but does not support native environments, which is a requirement for my project.

react-native-tesseract-ocr: It is no longer maintained and lacks support for iOS.

Given these challenges, I’m looking for any libraries or custom solutions that can effectively handle text extraction from embossed or dark images in a React Native environment. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Details:

The project is built with React Native.
The primary requirement is reliable OCR for embossed and dark images.
Compatibility with both iOS and Android is crucial.

Thanks in advance for your help!
