Awesome demo! I could see this being very useful for DICOM de-identification. Occasionally there will be PHI burned into the pixel data. Thank you for sharing this library.

Hi Sir,

Thank you for this awesome video, how to handle compatibility issues.

Example:
reader = easyocr.Reader(['en', 'hi', 'ta'], gpu=False) # English, hindi and tamil
getting below error:
*ValueError: Tamil is only compatible with English, try lang_list=["ta", "en"]*

Do you have any solution/idea to over this issue?

easyocr will only load about 4% of the model then quits.
