 Tesseract.js wraps a [webassembly port](https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js-core) of the [Tesseract](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract) OCR Engine.
-It works in the browser using [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/) or plain script tags with a [CDN](#CDN) and on the server with [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/).
+It works in the browser using [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/), esm, or plain script tags with a [CDN](#CDN) and on the server with [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/).
 After you [install it](#installation), using it is as simple as:
 
-```javascript
-import Tesseract from 'tesseract.js';
-
-Tesseract.recognize(
-  'https://tesseract.projectnaptha.com/img/eng_bw.png',
-  'eng',
-  { logger: m => console.log(m) }
-).then(({ data: { text } }) => {
-  console.log(text);
-})
-```
-
-Or using workers (recommended for production use):
-
 ```javascript
 import { createWorker } from 'tesseract.js';
 
-const worker = await createWorker({
-  logger: m => console.log(m)
-});
-
 (async () => {
-  await worker.loadLanguage('eng');
-  await worker.initialize('eng');
-  const { data: { text } } = await worker.recognize('https://tesseract.projectnaptha.com/img/eng_bw.png');
-  console.log(text);
+  const worker = await createWorker('eng');
+  const data = await worker.recognize('https://tesseract.projectnaptha.com/img/eng_bw.png');
+  console.log(data.text);
   await worker.terminate();
 })();
 ```
+When recognizing multiple images, users should create a worker once, run `worker.recognize` for each image, and then run `worker.terminate()` once at the end (rather than running the above snippet for every image). 
 
-For a basic overview of the functions, including the pros/cons of different approaches, see the [intro](./docs/intro.md).  [Check out the docs](#documentation) for a full explanation of the API.

-## Major changes in v4
-Version 4 includes many new features and bug fixes--see [this issue](https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js/issues/662) for a full list.  Several highlights are below. 
-
-- Added rotation preprocessing options (including auto-rotate) for significantly better accuracy
-- Processed images (rotated, grayscale, binary) can now be retrieved
-- Improved support for parallel processing (schedulers)
-- Breaking changes:
-  - `createWorker` is now async
-  - `getPDF` function replaced by `pdf` recognize option
-
-## Major changes in v3
-- Significantly faster performance
-   - Runtime reduction of 84% for Browser and 96% for Node.js when recognizing the [example images](./examples/data)
-- Upgrade to Tesseract v5.1.0 (using emscripten 3.1.18)
-- Added SIMD-enabled build for supported devices
-- Added support:
-   - Node.js version 18
-- Removed support:
-   - ASM.js version, any other old versions of Tesseract.js-core (<3.0.0) 
-   - Node.js versions 10 and 12
-
-## Major changes in v2
-- Upgrade to tesseract v4.1.1 (using emscripten 1.39.10 upstream)
-- Support multiple languages at the same time, eg: eng+chi\_tra for English and Traditional Chinese
-- Supported image formats: png, jpg, bmp, pbm
-- Support WebAssembly (fallback to ASM.js when browser doesn't support)
-- Support Typescript

 ## Installation
 Tesseract.js works with a `<script>` tag via local copy or CDN, with webpack via `npm` and on Node.js with `npm/yarn`.

 ### CDN

-<!-- v4 -->
-<script src='https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tesseract.js@4/dist/tesseract.min.js'></script>
+<!-- v5 -->
+<script src='https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tesseract.js@5/dist/tesseract.min.js'></script>
 ```
-After including the script the `Tesseract` variable will be globally available.
+After including the script the `Tesseract` variable will be globally available and a worker can be created using `Tesseract.createWorker`.

+## Major changes in v5
+Version 5 changes are documented in [this issue](https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js/issues/820).  Highlights are below.
+
+ - Significantly smaller files by default (54% smaller for English, 73% smaller for Chinese)
+    - This results in a ~50% reduction in runtime for first-time users (who do not have the files cached yet)
+ - Significantly lower memory usage
+ - Compatible with iOS 17 (using default settings)
+ - Breaking changes:
+    - `createWorker` arguments changed
+       - Setting non-default language and OEM now happens in `createWorker`
+          - E.g. `createWorker("chi_sim", 1)`
+    - `worker.initialize` and `worker.loadLanguage` functions now do nothing and can be deleted from code
+    - See [this issue](https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js/issues/820) for full list
