Development Environment

• Mac OS Catalina 10.15.5
• pyenv virtual environment
• Python 3.8.3
• poetry as package manager

How to replicate the error

Set up Virtual Environment and Dependencies

# zsh shell
pyenv virtualenv 3.8.3 OCR
pyenv activate OCR

Install easyocr via poetry

pip install poetry
poetry init
poetry add easyocr

Run Python File

# detect.py
import easyocr
reader = easyocr.Reader(["en"], gpu=False)
reader.readtext("./images/7c9bfd59ce7b1768d42566c0e9ec606a.jpg")

Image source

# zsh shell
python detect.py

# zsh shell
Using CPU. Note: This module is much faster with a GPU.

I've ran with Korean language, and switched images also.
Any candidates for the cause of EOF error?

i have the same issue

I think model file is not downloaded successfully, update to last version (v1.1.2) and re-download file should fix the issue. If automatic download does not work for any reason, you can also download model file manually.

Downloaded manually, and it works! But I switched from using poetry to pip though
