VANCOUVER, BC - Oct 29, 2024

Dynamsoft is excited to announce the release of the Python Edition of its MRZ Scanner, now available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. This new release empowers developers to build versatile ID scanning applications, enabling seamless scanning of machine-readable zones (MRZ) on passports across all major platforms. Designed for scenarios like airport check-ins, border security, and immigration control, the MRZ Scanner integrates effortlessly with other Dynamsoft SDKs, ensuring smooth, end-to-end data capture and processing workflow.

Key Features:

  • Multi-Platform Support: Build powerful passport scanning applications on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Seamless Integration: Leverage other Dynamsoft SDKs to create cross-product work
  • Unparalleled Accuracy: The MRZ Scanner SDK uses an innovative OCR engine with exceptional accuracy, ideal for critical scenarios such as airport check-ins, border security, and immigration.

Dynamsoft’s SDK suite offers the flexibility to build scalable solutions that integrate seamlessly. For example, with the Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK, developers can build fast, accurate ID scanning applications to read a variety of documents such as driver’s licenses, MRZ passports, insurance cards, and boarding passes.

Example Usage Scenarios of MRZ scanner:

  • Airport Check-In: The MRZ Scanner streamlines passenger check-in by scanning the machinereadable zones (MRZ) on passports with precision and speed, reducing manual entry errors. With the new Python edition for Windows, Linux, and macOS, airlines and airport staff can deploy the solution cross-platform with a few lines of code. By integrating Dynamsoft’s MRZ Scanner with other Dynamsoft SDKs, like the Dynamsoft Barcode Reader, airlines can develop a comprehensive system that handles both passenger identification and baggage checking, as well as boarding pass scanning, all within a unified workflow.
  • Border Control and Immigration: The MRZ Scanner enables fast extraction of passport data, which can be automatically cross-checked with government databases or immigration records. By combining the MRZ Scanner with the Dynamsoft Code Parser, border officers can parse and extract multiple fields such as passport ID, name, date of birth, and expiration date, automating data entry and ID validation, ensuring accuracy and compliance.

"With the release of the Python Edition of our MRZ Scanner SDK, we’re reinforcing our commitment to providing versatile, cross-platform data capture solutions," said Amy Gu, CEO of Dynamsoft. This new offering allows developers to build powerful, multi-platform ID scanning applications that integrate seamlessly with Dynamsoft’s suite of SDKs, ensuring flexibility, scalability, and unparalleled accuracy for critical use cases such as airport check-ins and border control.
