It can't be recognized correctly on MAC M1, but it works normally on windows.

Thanks for the report, we don't have access to M1 for testing. We don't have a plan to support M1 yet.

Hi, is it still not supporting on Mac M1?

Got it working with installing from source

brew install openblas gfortran
brew install xz # To pick up liblzma
prefix=$(brew --prefix)
export LDFLAGS="-L$prefix/opt/xz/lib $LDFLAGS"
export CPPFLAGS="-I$prefix/opt/xz/include $CPPFLAGS"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$prefix/opt/xz/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared" pyenv install 3.9.5 


export OPENBLAS=/opt/homebrew/opt/openblas/lib/
pip3 install torchvision torch scikit-image pillow  pybind11  pythran
pip3 install numpy --compile --pre  
pip3 install scipy --compile --pre 
python3 setup.py install

Works out of the box on M1 now, but doesn't make use of tensorflow-macos GPU / Bionic(?)

Can anyone write the complete solution on how to work with Mac M1? Thank you.

My application stops while using the readtext function on Mac M1

Turning off quantization in easyocr.Reader fixes this problem on M1.

self.ocr_reader = easyocr.Reader(["en"], gpu=False, quantize=False)
