FAQ to know more about Mindee
ID : Does the OCR work on low-quality images?
Yes, the OCR was trained on a lot of IDs from a wide variety of layouts and image quality and learned to process the most complex ones.
We also use data augmentation to make sure that no blur or ink stains prevent the OCR from reading the data as long as it's readable.
ID : What's the average API response time?
The processing time is around 1.3 seconds per page for pdfs and 0.9 seconds for an ID image.
We often improve this processing time and our target is below 500ms. Our goal is to make sure you can create real-time user experiences in your application.
ID : What is the OCR accuracy?
Our ID OCR's accuracy is above 90%, with precision above 95% for most of the fields. These performances are computed on a data set including more than 50 countries.
Testing our OCR API is free, all you need is an account. Feel free to drop ID in the live interface to see the OCR performance on your data.
ID : How complicated is it to integrate the API?
Mindee's API follows HTTP standards in order to allow any developer to integrate the ID OCR API into their applications easily.
We also offer a set of client libraries in all the main back-end languages, and an open-source UI toolkit that helps create front-end features. You can check out our open-source repository or our API documentation for more details.
ID : What are the supported countries?
Our ID OCR API is based on our computer vision technology that doesn't rely on text to extract the ID data, but only on the image. This removes the language limitations.
