If you're settled on "Tesseract", perhaps a small tweak would suffice to clear up the potential confusion. Call it "Tesseract.js".

That would lead me to believe that it's 'Tesseract OCR, but in Javascript!'. I think a more substantial name change will be required because of how prominent Tesseract is.

Tesserect? ;p

Mind you Tesseract OCR did miss a chance to be TesseractOCRus, which would be great, obviously.
