import easyocr throws error- The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically

hi.. In your description for the second step you forgot to add "conda"... it should be $ conda activate env_easyocr . Thank you for the video, it was helpful..

[louatiyossr]

thank u for the tuto but the problem is the errors after extraction the text, i tested both pytesseract and easyocr and both make errors, so i thought that preprocessing step is important so i applied thresh, filters ... but none has given an enhancement, Do you have any tips please !

[apeksha]

It shows an error 'ValueError: source code string cannot contain null bytes' and points out to the easyocr files

How do I use the GPU? I want to get a boost in speed.
When I don't write gpu = false, I get the error "CUDA not available - defaulting to CPU. Note: This module is much faster with a GPU." How to solve it?

[srinivaspradeep]

Hi,
Thanks for video. I try it on hand written bank from its work fine but can't read hand written word... How to solve the problem.

[omprakashjena]

nice explanation. but how can you separate individual character and numbers after finding the words.

[shyamalaspure]

Does we have to download model everytime when we run the script or can we save it.

[bhismaosti]

if we want to extract only invoice no, phone number, address and name only in the document, from this we can extract all texts and bboxes . So now what should we do to detect these part only?
