Quickstart
Web demo
The web demo is at https://alsenet-labs.github.io/mrz-scanner/dist/index.html (nothing is uploaded)
Web demo from filesystem
The code is "same-origin friendly". That means it can be run in the browser from the filesystem (no web server required), with eg:
Use the prebuilt static version
git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
xdg-open mrz-scanner/dist/index.html
Rebuild and run the static version
git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
cd mrz-scanner
npm install
gulp dist
xdg-open dist/index.html
Web demo from web server
You can build the scripts, start a web server and open a browser, with eg:
git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
cd mrz-scanner
npm start
Command line tool
You can also scan documents from the command line using this repository or the latest published npm package. On success the result will be stored in a file suffixed by ".mrz.json" along the original image by default.
Using this repository
git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
cd mrz-scanner
npm install .
mrz2json [ -d|--dest-dir <directory> ] <png_or_jpg_or_tiff> [...]
