Request for Updated Pre-trained Models and Guidance on Fine-tuning EasyOCR #1266

Open Meriem-DAHMANI opened 3 months ago

Meriem-DAHMANI commented 3 months ago

Hello, I want to fine-tune EasyOCR for French (easyocr.Reader([fr])), and I followed the instructions provided in this note by @rkcosmos and this article. However, I encountered a problem: the note suggests downloading the OCR pre-trained model from this Google Drive link, but the latest models available there were uploaded in 2020. Given that the last updates to EasyOCR were made 10 months ago, these models are outdated and do not perform as well as the latest EasyOCR version. Additionally, I need to improve the French version specifically, but there is no option to specify which language to train. I tried to obtain a .pth file for the latest version of EasyOCR but wasn't sure how to proceed. Could you please guide me on how to get the latest pre-trained model for EasyOCR, and how to fine-tune it specifically for French? Thank you.
