I checked the text in the image you sent, and I think the Font of the text French script.
I am not sure if there are a suitable OCR engine that can efficiently recognize this type of Font.

In general, if you want to support recognizing the text (OCR) in your HTML5/JS application, you can check the OCR features from LEADTOOLS.
You can use the LEAD .NET OCR engine at the server side that receives the image data, recognize it using the IOcrEngine class and save it into a file or return the recognized text to the client. You can find more information about this here:
https://www.leadtools.com/help/leadtools/v20/dh/fo/iocrengine.html

The following code shows how you can load the TIFF image, OCR it and then save the recognized result into a file:
using (IOcrEngine ocrEngine1 = OcrEngineManager.CreateEngine(OcrEngineType.LEAD, false))
{
   ocrEngine1.Startup(null, null, null, null);
   string tifFileName = @"e:\source\image1.tif";
   string txtFileName = @"e:\target\result1.txt";
   using (IOcrDocument ocrDocument1 = ocrEngine1.DocumentManager.CreateDocument())
   {
      IOcrPage ocrPage1 = ocrDocument1.Pages.AddPage(tifFileName, null);
      ocrPage1.AutoZone(null);
      ocrPage1.Recognize(null);
      ocrDocument1.Save(txtFileName, DocumentFormat.Text, null);
   }
   ocrEngine1.Shutdown();
}
Also, you can consider using the LEADTOOLS Cloud Services Web API instead. You can find more details here:

Ah! I missed reading your question properly. You need an OCR to convert your image to text. For this, you can Google Vision API or Microsoft Computer Vision API.

Computer Vsion API
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/services/cognitive-services/computer-vision/

Google Vision API
https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/drag-and-drop

Using either will help you to achieve that.
