I can't solve the problem, it keeps giving me an OSError every time it's raised.

The error you’re encountering indicates that there is a missing or corrupted dependency for the torch library, specifically the shm.dll file.
possible causes:-

1. Ensure All Dependencies are Installed
2. Update Your Environment
3. Check for Missing DLL Files
4. Reinstalling PyTorch with CUDA or CPU-only Versions
5. Verify Your Python Environment

python -m venv myenv
myenv\Scripts\activate  # On Windows
# myenv/bin/activate    # On MacOS/Linux
pip install easyocr
pip install torch

6. Check for Conflicting Software
   Ensure that there are no software conflicts, such as multiple versions of Python or other packages that might interfere.
7. After performing these steps, try running your code again:

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

Hope this helps,
Thanks
