The OCR was trained with passport from more than 50 countries and works on passport  from all around the world.

🕔 How complicated is it to integrate the API?

Mindee's API follows HTTP standards in order to allow any developer to integrate the passport OCR API into their applications easily.

🎯️ Does the OCR work on low-quality images?
