No need to run it locally, you can use https://tesseract.dubvee.org/

Yep, you can. Came as a surprise to me as well at the time but you definitely can.

You probably got this already if you look ta the Tesseract page and how this all works but I wanted to share with you my docker-compose file to give you an idea how I did it. I find it helpful to look at examples of others sometimes.

Good luck!
