mrz-scanner

mrz-scanner is a PWA (progressive web app) for recognizing MRZ lines used on ID cards and passports. All processing is done offline - no data for scanning will ever leave your computer.

Try it!

Dependencies

• Tesseract.js (for text recognition / OCR)
• Croppie (for zooming and range selection)
• mrz (for parsing and validating MRZ lines)
• exif-js (Croppie uses it for proper initial image orientation)

The icon has been taken from Font Awesome.

Development

You can run this app with parcel:

yarn parcel index.html

The deployment build can be created with:

yarn parcel build index.html --public-url ./

Ideas for improvements (Pull Requests are welcome!)

• Wrap as reusable component (which can be used in other apps)
• Embed Tesseract.js (not that easy because of the worker setup)
• Better support for smaller displays
• Improved display of MRZ results
