PixLab, a leading provider of advanced image and video analysis solutions, is thrilled to unveil its newly redesigned and highly innovative Machine Learning-based document scanner engine, developed in-house.

This groundbreaking technology is specifically designed for Know Your Customer (KYC) and ID verification tasks, offering customer onboarding solutions that go beyond standard KYC and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks. The PixLab DOCSCAN API Endpoint empowers organizations to boost conversions, reduce fraud, and maintain global compliance effortlessly.

The PixLab DOCSCAN API Endpoint revolutionizes the way government-issued documents, including Passports, Visas, U.S Driver License, and ID cards from various countries including but not limited to Malaysia, Singapore, India, and Emirates, are scanned and verified. With a single call, organizations can effortlessly scan and extract critical information from these documents. The API endpoint also features automatic face extraction, enhancing the accuracy and completeness of the scanning process.

Below, the DOCSCAN API endpoint output for a typical Input Passport Image:

And, the extracted Passport (MRZ) Fields Extract Output

One of the key highlights of the DOCSCAN API endpoint is its ability to transform binary data, such as Passport Machine Readable Zone (MRZ), into a stream of textual content in JSON format. This includes extracting crucial details such as the Full Name, Issuing Country, Document Number, Date of Birth & Expiry, etc.. This seamless integration of the extracted information into your application allows for streamlined and efficient processes, reducing manual effort and eliminating errors.

PixLab takes document scanning and verification to the next level by offering additional features that help identify possible fraudulent documents. The DOCSCAN API endpoint's automated face scanning capabilities, combined with its MRZ extraction functionality, enable developers to automate passport scanning while maintaining stringent security standards. This empowers organizations to protect against fraudulent activities and maintain the integrity of their processes.

In today's increasingly digitized era, the need for automation and efficiency is paramount. Manual and repetitive administrative tasks can be time-consuming, error-prone, and costly.
