When executing this code:

import easyocr

Reader = easyocr.Reader(['en'])

I get this warning:

CUDA not available - defaulting to CPU. Note: This module is much faster with a GPU.

I've already downloaded CUDA but it is quite complicated and I couldn't find a tutorial that fits my needs.

What can I do so that easyocr is using my GPU and not CPU?

(I'm new to stackoverflow so please don't be mad if the question is asked wrong. Thanks!)

    The [website](https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR) says that you need to install `pytorch` with CUDA here first: https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR#installation – Minh-Long Luu Oct 28 '22 at 16:04

    Thanks! Now I know that I can't use CUDA with an Intel graphics card! But if I had the right GPU it should've worked. – Julian Hessenberger Oct 28 '22 at 18:22
  • Oh so you are using Intel graphics card? Yes that won't work because they support only NVIDIA cards (hence CUDA). – Minh-Long Luu Oct 29 '22 at 01:34
  • CUDA was created by Nvidia, so as long as you have an Nvidia GPU you should be okay https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA – Nahuel Mel Nov 15 '22 at 21:30
