Smart Engines represents secure in-browser scanner for IDs, passports, bank cards

Smart Engines presents how to scan IDs, passports, bank cards, and MRZ on a web page without sending images from the client device. Real-time AI algorithms allow to extract data in the browser without threats to privacy and security.

With Smart Engines software, users can quickly extract data and fill out online forms. The images will not leave the perimeter of the browser. Using SDK from Smart Engines developers can deploy automated scanning to any gadgets, including smart IoT devices, without tinkering with native applications. For businesses, in-browser scanning means the development of remote omnichannel customer service.

When using Smart Engines recognition technologies, any WebAssembly-enabled web browser and a camera with a resolution of at least 640x480 should be installed on the user’s device. WebAssembly allows you to run the program code directly on a web page and perform all calculations in a browser, using low-level optimization capabilities of the platform on which it runs. Today, WebAssembly is supported by the latest versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla FireFox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge browsers.

“In 2017, at Mobile World Congress we introduced the solution for secure recognition of the ID cards of EU, driving licences of USA, passports and other identity documents in mobile apps in real time, the solution did not transfer images to the services and worked on a user’s phone or tablet. Today we are opening a new chapter in document recognition on the Internet. The AI algorithms allow us to securely recognize the ID cards, scan Drivers Licenses, Passports, Visas and other documents in web apps in real time. As with mobile applications, our products are completely autonomous, work directly in the user’s browser and do not transfer images for processing to external services for computerized or manual processing. From the business point of view, in-browser data recognition is not only a matter of concern for the safety of client data, but also the opportunity to reduce the cost of developing cross-platform applications to build an omnichannel client service,” comments Vladimir Arlazarov, CEO of Smart Engines, PhD.
