Could it support GPU Acceleration?

It would be more efficiency with GPU Acceleration. Is it possible to support GPU Acceleration?

@Lwt-127, it's possible, only if you build (compile) Tesseract (text recognition library) with OpenCL (GPU Acceleration library) support, but:

Important note: OpenCL support in Tesseract is still considered experimental. There are some major bugs associated with it (see issue 837). Building Tesseract with OpenCL support is not recommended (for any version of Tesseract), unless you are a developer and want to improve the OpenCL code.

So, if you want to try, go here for the instructions.

I've created a fork of this library that uses the newer PaddleOCR library which does support GPU: https://github.com/oliverfei/videocr-PaddleOCR
