what is the best package to read text content from a pdf in js?
But keep in mind, PDFs can be fully or partially made of images, and if you want text out of those, you will need to OCR them. There's tesseract.js for that.

Can anyone comment on the state of the tech or recommend a package that can convert an uploaded photo of handwriting into text ?

Extract information from image into JSON
YOu could try using tesseract.js to OCR the images. Though might be a challenge to figure out the times/days of the classes.

WebDev Recommendations to Mimic AWS Textract Demo Functionality
I've never used it - but Tesseract.js looks interesting. Perhaps you can use it as a foundation on which to build something like the AWS tool (which seems to work by overlaying an SVG over the top of the image, then manipulates that SVG when user clicks on a results tag to get the word/phrase's highlight box to display)?

How to implement invoice OCR on React Native
I tried researching a little on this topic, so from what I understand to achieve this feature, I would need a library that supports Optical character Recognition (OCR) such as Tesseract.js or Google ML Kit to do it. However, I'm not too sure if these libraries will be supported on React Native apps.

Word Quake - write words, avoid the shakes, powered by Tesseract.js
It's definitely one of the best for on-the-fly OCR, but I think a server-based implementation using Google's Vision API would be way better. Definitely not mine, the AI used here is way beyond my skill level - link: https://tesseract.projectnaptha.com/

[P] EasyOCR in C++!
I just uploaded my C++ implementation of EasyOCR, a well known ocr library for python. Also dusted some cobwebbs from some audio related projects as well, feel free to leave feedback or contribute! I only implemented the most salient parts, so certainly could use some community help! Cheers!

OCR at Edge on Cloudflare Constellation
EasyOCR is a popular project if you are in an environment where you can use run Python and PyTorch (https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR). Other open source projects of note are PaddleOCR (https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR) and docTR (https://github.com/mindee/doctr).

Donut: OCR-Free Document Understanding Transformer
The main one was https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR, mostly because, as promised, it was pretty easy to use, and uses pytorch (which I preferred in case I wanted to tweak it). It has been updated since, but at the time it was using CRNN, which is a solid model, especially for the time - it wasn't (academic) SOTA but not far behind that. I'm sure I could've coaxed better performance than I got out of it with some retraining and hyperparameter tuning.
