easyocr terminates without any error but don't output anything

[pengxiao-song]

def main(args):
    reader = easyocr.Reader(['en'], gpu=False)
    message = reader.readtext('images/a.jpg', detail=0)
    print(message)

The output in the terminal is:

Using CPU. Note: This module is much faster with a GPU.

I am so confused, so could anyone help me? Thank you!

Did you try with another image? Can you share the one you use for testing (if there is nothing confidential), so I can test it on my side?

I have the same issue even with minor code. I've also tried to remove the GPU parameter and go for "en" only. Furthermore, I tried several images and tried opening the images first using OpenCV.

same issue.

[phelipecomph]

Same here and only with some PCs. I do not recognize difference between pcs

[Qamar2315]

Same issue... The program just gets terminate with out any error. One my one pc it works and other just terminates without printing results and also not throwing any error

[kincho4]

Same issue here

[Nosratimrn]

same issue on my laptop. can it be related to having integrated gpu on pc?

[GeorgiiBurda]

same issue. some of my pcs work, some do not. it is very annoying since there is no error, it just returns nothing for me. I have tried 1.6.2 and 1.7.1, I build executable using pyinstaller, and trying to get some results back, but they are empty. And not only that, it terminates the process, so when I am trying to read the data from the console, it is gone. I also use models by path, so I do not need to download them.

I have the same issue but only for certain files. I am processing about 200 files using the EasyOCR and for about 2/3 of the images the OCR does not create any output.

[srBruning]

I have the same problem. Did you find any solution?

[elisegarnett]

same issue. it works perfectly in a notebook, while returning empty results on an ec2 instance that has virtual computing (it recognizes the gpu). Is there an environment issue here? It is bewildering that the exact same dataset and code generates wildly different results depending from where its run.

[robootcz]

I have the same problem, I tried other languages too, without any output or error.

[ArqamNisar]

I have the same problem. When I try to do this on my personal computer, it works fine. But when I try to do this on a remote PC accessed through anydesk, it doesn't generate any error and there is no output as well.

[ArqamNisar]

I have tried downgrading opencv as well as easyocr and I have Python310 as well.

[adeelshuaib]

facing the same issue when accessing the pc via RDP or VNC. it works fine when using directly on system

[razorext2]

i face the same issue, check your cpu support. easyocr wont give any output of the reader readtext if you using CPU older than haswell series. ive try my codes to several computers using different cpu, like i7 3770, i5 4570, i5 7200, i5 10500, and easyocr doesnt work with i7 3770. maybe u can use GPU that support cuda rather than old CPU, you can set the gpu to True when initializing the reader.
