I'm looking for a cloud based solution to read the Machine Readable Zone from IDs or Passports to implement in our backend.



I tried some generic OCR solutions such as:



  1. Amazon Rekognition

  2. Google Vision

  3. Microsoft Computer Vision


  4. Teserract 3.0 / 4.0 (experimental)

None of these provide accurate (sometimes not at all MRZ recognition)



I also tried some other tools specialized in MRZ OCR:




  1. BlinkID from MicroBlink (which is very good but doesn't have a cloud solution)


  2. Accurascan (provides cloud solution but less accurate than BlinkID)


  3. Abbyy (too slow, 10~ seconds per request)

Can you recommend me a good cloud solution for MRZ OCR of documents?

          In the ocr.space ocr api forum I read this post a while ago: MRZ reading in passports:



          When scanning alphanumerical texts like the MRZ it often helps to select Korean, Japanese or Chinese as OCR language. For the MRZ font, Japanese gives the best results in my tests.

            For quite some time, Microblink does offer cloud solution for the reading of the MRTD documents. Beside MRTD, we also support lots of the other types of the documents, like USDL, UKDL, Germany ID and DL, Malaysia ID and DL, etc. You can find more information, test our solution free of charge, and list of the supported documents here: https://microblink.com/products/blinkid/web-api



            We also offer a docker instance of the API that can be hosted on your own premise: https://hub.docker.com/r/microblink/api/



            If you need any assistance with creating a api key for the docker image, please let me know.

            • Hello, MicroBlink offers cloud just for testing. We need it for production. "At the moment, Cloud API is just for testing" - quote from the website. Is there something I missed?

            • Hi Mike, Yes, you are right. But Cloud API is something that we will be able to offer very soon, we’re still working on infrastructure to finalize it. Please contact us for more details.
