Hi, could you please help me to understand what is happening? This is the output I obtain when I run it in linux. The text detected completely messed up.

Doesn't work in Windows either. The output heatmap works but the OCR result is just gibberish and garbage.

@strfic @rmsalinas thank you for bringing this to my attention. I made a fix just now that gives coherent results. Seems like I initially uploaded an older implementation. The issue was due to the character map implementation, I have moved over to a txt file based approach. I dont have a ton of time to keep up with this project, but I will eventually add a config based approach that will utilize the exact char mappings from EasyOCR for all languages supported. For now english g2 only supported - >https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR/blob/c999505ef6b43be1c4ee36aa04ad979175178352/easyocr/config.py#L145

My output from the update, easyocr-output.txt please note the best accuracy results come from a beam search decoder which I have yet to implement. Thank you for raising issues and I will try to prioritize this repo a bit more
