What Is On-Premise OCR?

The core idea behind OCR Studio is Data Privacy.
In line with this idea, we created on-premise solutions.

On-premise OCR means all data is processed offline directly in the local memory (RAM) and never leaves the client’s device, which allows us to ensure an unrivaled level of data privacy for our clients.

Key Benefits of Our Approach:

Data Privacy

Our AI solution ensures maximum data protection by processing all customer information exclusively on the end-user's device.

  • Your clients' data is never shared with us or any third parties, eliminating the risk of external breaches while maintaining seamless, real-time verification capabilities
  • All data is processed strictly in the RAM of the device and is never logged or stored, which allows to achieve 100% on-premise architecture.
  • Verification is fully automated, with no human operators (HITL), crowdsourcing, or Mechanical Turk involvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MRZ OCR?

MRZ OCR is the specialized technology that automatically reads and decodes the machine-readable zone on passports and ID cards to instantly extract personal data.

Which documents does OCR Studio scan the MRZ from?

OCR Studio’s technology reads MRZ data from passports, IDs, and visas.

Which MRZ formats does OCR Studio support?

OCR Studio supports all ICAO-compliant MRZ formats, including:

  • TD1 (ID cards, residence permits): 3 lines, 30 characters each
  • TD2 (ID cards, residence permits): 2 lines, 36 characters each
  • TD3 or MRP (passports): 2 lines, 44 characters each
  • MRVA (visas): 2 lines, 44 characters each
  • MRVB (visas): 2 lines, 36 characters each

These formats cover the majority of global identity documents used in travel, finance, and government services.

How does MRZ scanning help in the fight against fraud?

Our MRZ reader provides instant verification by cross-validating extracted MRZ data with personal details from the document's visual zone.

What role does MRZ code reader play in RFID/NFC chip verification?

MRZ code reader provides the essential key to unlock and authenticate the RFID/NFC chip in ePassports, enabling secure data verification.

Why is it important for MRZ reading to be able to work offline?

Firstly, the offline operation of the AI solution ensures there is no data leakage and guarantees the privacy of personal data, as all information is processed on-premise and never leaves the client's device.

Secondly, given the potential for unreliable internet connections — such as unstable Wi-Fi or operating in production areas outside network coverage — the MRZ document checker must support offline operation without any degradation in speed or accuracy.
