-# Tesseract WASM Patches
-
-This directory contains patches needed to compile Tesseract for WebAssembly (WASM) targets using Emscripten.
-
-These patches are vendored from the [tesseract-wasm](https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js) project and have been proven to work with WASM compilation.
-
-## Patches
-
-### tesseract.diff
-
-A comprehensive patch that makes Tesseract compatible with WASM compilation. The patch includes the following changes:
-
-#### 1. CMakeLists.txt Modifications
-
-- **New CMake option**: `BUILD_TESSERACT_BINARY` (default: ON)
-  - Allows disabling the Tesseract CLI binary build, which is not needed for WASM
-  - Wraps all executable and installation targets for the tesseract binary
-
-- **Disabled components for WASM**:
-  - Removes OpenCL support (`src/opencl/*.cpp`) - not applicable to WASM
-  - Removes viewer support (`src/viewer/*.cpp`) - UI components not needed for WASM
-  - Removes C API bindings (`src/api/capi.cpp`) - only hocrrenderer is kept
-  - Removes PDF and rendering support files:
-    - `src/api/renderer.cpp`
-    - `src/api/altorenderer.cpp`
-    - `src/api/lstmboxrenderer.cpp`
-    - `src/api/pdfrenderer.cpp`
-    - `src/api/wordstrboxrenderer.cpp`
-
-#### 2. SIMD Detection Fixes (src/arch/simddetect.cpp)
-
-- Guards CPUID detection with `#if !defined(__EMSCRIPTEN__)`
-- Prevents attempts to use CPU feature detection that don't exist in Emscripten
-- The HAS_CPUID macro is only defined for non-Emscripten builds
-- This allows the code to gracefully handle WASM's SIMD limitations
-
-#### 3. Pointer Type Fixes (src/ccmain/pageiterator.cpp, src/ccmain/pagesegmain.cpp, src/ccmain/tesseractclass.cpp)
-
-**Changed from stack allocation to heap allocation** in `tesseractclass.h`:
-- `pixa_debug_` changed from `DebugPixa` to `std::unique_ptr<DebugPixa>`
-- This prevents large allocations on the stack, which is limited in WASM
-
-**Updated all references** throughout the codebase:
-- `.get()` calls added where raw pointers are needed
-- Arrow operator `->` replaces dot operator `.` for member access
-- Null checks added before dereferencing to prevent crashes
-
-**Affected functions**:
-- `PageIterator::Orientation()` - added null vector check
-- `Tesseract::AutoPageSeg()` - updated pointer passing
-- `Tesseract::SetupPageSegAndDetectOrientation()` - multiple pointer updates
-- `Tesseract::Clear()` - added null check before WritePDF
-- `Tesseract::PrepareForPageseg()` - updated Split() calls
-- `Tesseract::PrepareForTessOCR()` - updated Split() calls
-
-#### 4. Additional Fixes
-
-- **Orientation detection**: Changed comparison from `> 0.0F` to `>= 0.0F` in `pageiterator.cpp` to handle null vectors gracefully when orientation info is not available
-
-## How to Apply
-
-These patches are applied during the WASM build process. They modify the Tesseract source code to:
-
-1. Disable WASM-incompatible features (OpenCL, viewers, renderers)
-2. Prevent CPUID detection in Emscripten environment
-3. Use heap allocation instead of stack allocation for large objects
-4. Handle missing pointer initialization gracefully
-
-## Source
-
-These patches are based on the proven WASM compilation approach used by the tesseract.js project, which successfully compiles Tesseract to WebAssembly and deploys it in production environments.
