When i run the code it just exiting halfway there not even giving output, please help me

my system config:

• Python 3.12.8
• windows 10
• i5 3gen
• 8gb ram
• 730 NVidia gpu
• 256 SSD

project structure:

input images:

code:

import torch
import easyocr
import cv2

print(f"PyTorch version: {torch.__version__}")
print(f"EasyOCR version: {easyocr.__version__}")
print(f"OpenCV version: {cv2.__version__}")

try:
    reader = easyocr.Reader(['en'])
    result = reader.readtext('input/d.png')
    print(result)
    result = reader.readtext('input/image.jpg')
    print(f"OCR Result: {result}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

output:

Neither CUDA nor MPS are available - defaulting to CPU. Note: This module is much faster with a GPU.

yes same issue with me, the code works fine on Colab with CPU setting but not on laptop

No idea, maybe you could try to reinstall your os.

I'm not sure if it's related to this issue, but in my environment I've encountered a situation where it seems to hang inside reader.readtext. It appears to work with PyTorch 2.2.0, but there have been cases where it doesn't work properly with PyTorch 2.2.1, 2.2.2, and 2.3.0.

please do tell us if you fix the issue.

FYI, in my case, it appeared to hang when calling toTensor in NormalizePAD. https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR/blob/master/easyocr/recognition.py#L39

However, it doesn't always happen, and since the issue occurred with a certain PIL Image that didn't seem particularly problematic, I still don't really know the cause at this point.
