Add a GPU or disable GPU (in read me) it would appear fixes this!

I guess you are running a computer without GPU. Try

reader = easyocr.Reader(['th','en'], gpu = False)

I just accept a PR to fix this. If you update to current version, the library will automatically use CPU when you don't have GPU.

Got it now. THANKS!
