Octus OCR demonstrates the power of optical character recognition on mobile devices. In particular, for extracting and parsing data from standard government issued identity documents. Octus OCR allows the user to just hold the phone over the ID document to automatically extract the details, detect edges and crop the images being scanned.

Octus OCR allows extracting data from the following documents:

Passports (all countries)
National ID (select countries)
Driving License (select countries)
Voter ID (select countries)

The core features of Octus OCR are as follows:

Scans at a high speed (less than a second for supported documents)
Accurate (accuracy of greater than 95% for supported documents)
Offline (the scanning happens within the device)
Small SDK footprint (one of the smallest SDK footprint of ~7MB)
Supported on over 100+ Android devices (manually tested and confirmed)
