Training does not create custom_model.pth

Were you able to solve this? I'm getting the same issue.

As far as I can understand, after looking at the times on these files, there are a few iter_xxxx.pth created BEFORE best_accuracy.pth and best_norm_ED.pth. I don't fully understand everything, but I suggest you try using one of these 2 files (rename them to yourmodel.pth) the follow the directions at the bottom of https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR/blob/master/custom_model.md

The later iter_xxxx.pth files (the ones created after best_accuracy.pth and best_norm_ED.pth) can also be used, as they are later iterations of the model creation, but not guaranteed to work better. It's possible that models from later iterations, despite having gone through more training, could start overfitting to the training data, leading to reduced performance on unseen data. The models saved earlier (best_accuracy.pth and best_norm_ED.pth) might have struck a better balance between learning and generalizing.

It's easy to test the various pth files once you have everything set up. Hope that helps..

The documentation really needs to be more clear.
