PaddleOCR Freezes on M2 MacOS Ventura version 13.5

[pranay-009]

I installed

• PyMuPDF-1.20.2 and paddleocr-2.7.0 and PaddlePaddle 2.3.2
• I was using python 3.8.18
• System Information :Mac M2 MacOS Ventura version 13.5

I had to force and stop the process

code sample

from paddleocr import PaddleOCR
ocr = PaddleOCR(use_angle_cls=True, lang='en') # need to run only once to download and load model into memory
img_path = '/Users/pranaysaha/Developer/OCR/sample.jpeg'
result = ocr.ocr(img_path, cls=True)
