ANYLINE® SDK PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS - MRZ

SKIP THE LINES AND SCAN PASSPORTS WITH YOUR PHONE

Use the Anyline MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) feature to simply scan and identify passports, visas and identity cards. The SDK can easily be integrated in your application, speeding up the reading process by its real-time scanning ability. Whether it’s a sign-up process, the verification of a document or ID, a security check or if you want to bring your current passport scanning solution to a mobile device: this Anyline SDK configuration is the perfect choice, as it is already preconfigured.

HIGHLIGHTED FEATURES

Offline scanning functionality and higher security (all data handled locally)

No extra hardware required, except one smartphone

Automatic recognition of different MRZ standards

Continuous scanning for speed and efficiency

Automatic flash to enable scanning in low-light environments

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Anyline is an SDK that provides everything for your developers to be able to integrate an OCR feature into your application, or to build a standalone application. The user then simply holds up their phone with Anyline open to a passport or ID with an MRZ, positions it in the cutout on the screen and Anyline automatically scans and returns the results.

In order to see the exact scanning process in action, go to the Play/Appstore and download the Anyline OCR Scanner. With it you can test out all of our implementations.

EASY GUIDING SYSTEM WHILE YOU SCAN - THE CUTOUT

The rectangular cutout within the scan view is a guide to help the user enjoy an efficient scanning experience. It allows the user to quickly position the MRZ in the cutout so that the scanning process can start. In the case of the MRZ module, the cutout is fixed. However, within the Anyline SDK there are several configurable parameters available for different modules.

The shape of the cutout can be defined through a width and height ratio. The size can also be altered in two ways, either defining a fixed size on the screen in pixels or a relative size to the phone screen in percentage. The position on the screen can also be configured, for example in the top half or in the middle of the screen. Lastly, many visual alterations of the cutout are possible within the Anyline SDK.

Below you can find a selection of the possible configurable parameters which show you the versatility of the Anyline SDK. For all the configurable parameters please go to our documentation: https://documentation.anyline.io/#configurable-parameters.

Parameter Name Description

cutout.style The type of cutout can be rectangular or an image.

cutout.alignment Positioning of the cutout.

cutout.width The width of the cutout in pixels. If the width percentage is smaller than the pixel value, the percentage will force the cutout to resize.

Flash: mode alignment imageOn imageOff imageAuto

Settings regarding the flash, in case of a dark environment. The flash can be set to none, manual or automatic and the images representing the various states can also be selected

beepOnResult Sound signal when scan is successful.

vibrateOnResult Haptic feedback when scan is successful.

blinkAnimationOnResult

Visual feedback in the form of a white short flash before showing the scan result.

cancelOnResult Select whether continuous scanning should be possible, or set to ‘true’ to cancel the scan process after one scan.
