Print out alternate predicted results string and probabilities

[rdavis22]

Hi,

Is there a method to print out the alternate results from the "Reader" class? For instance, here is an example of my code:

###Example code###
reader = easyocr.Reader(['en'], gpu = True)
results = reader.readtext('example_labeltif')

for result in results:
bbox, text, score = result
print(f"Text: {text}")
print(f"Confidence Score: {score}")
print()

(Returns):

Text: 5023-00013 A-3
Confidence Score: 0.7890631529022496

Text: BEAKER,
Confidence Score: 0.9955028038505163

Text: ERIKA
Confidence Score: 0.6211073188069697

I would like to see what the alternate predictions were for "5023-00013 A-3".

An example alternative predicition for "5023-00013 A-3" would be something like this (e.g. S823-88813 A-3", Confidence score: 0.200234)

Is there a way to do this? Possibly altering "recognition.py" "get_recoginizer" method? I don't want to alter any source code if I have to but if someone has a solution, I am all ears.
