title: javascript OCR API
body: <p>I'm looking for a JavaScript OCR API.</p>
  
  <p>Something like: send a picture and an expected result type (e.g. numbers, object, text, mixed, etc) and receive the result as a string or JSON.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of such an API/Service which you can access easily via JavaScript?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: 
  I forgot to say, the main use case would be just to recognize numbers (like floats and doubles) and prices (e.g. 0.02$).</p>
  
  <p>I already found some "cloud-ocr APIs" like abbyy, but they are expensive ... 2 cents per request...</p>
