Major improvements for US documents

As announced on several occasions this year, we are very proud to present new features for scanning of the US identity cards and driver’s licenses.

  • Data extraction from the front side of the US identity documents.
  • Best-in-class card detection.
  • Scanning and data extraction data from the barcode on the back side.
  • Data matching – we match the extracted information captured from the front side with the information from the barcode on the back.
  • Redesigned UX to make the process more intuitive for end users.

On top of the above-mentioned new features, existing ones, such as face image and document image extraction, are still available.

Important notes on the upcoming release:

  • Existing features that you have already purchased can be used along with the new features.
  • Existing license keys that cover US documents will work as usual, until you decide to update to the new features.
  • In order to use the new features in your app, you need to obtain a new license key specifically for the document types that you require.

We invite you to follow the release and the documentation on Github and to try new features through our Developer Dashboard. Your opinion on this release, and especially on the redesigned UX is highly valuable to us. Please leave us feedback at support@microblink.com.
