Why OCR for Passports?

ocr for passports

Businesses that deal with passports on a daily basis face steep time investments and security concerns. Unless there is some automation in place, these companies are forced to manually handle and process each passport, a solution that does not have scale in mind. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) bridges this gap by identifying and digitizing relevant text, but this poses a whole new set of problems: training and maintenance of a custom passport model are the first that come to mind. Luckily, there is a safe, cost and time effective way to solve these issues.
