OCR or optical character recognition is not a new technology. However, the new document OCR apps make it easier and more practical to provide advanced security features when scanned documents such as a driver’s license, passport, or a visa are used to establish the authenticity of the user.
The use of document OCR provides for immediate, real-time verification of the document provided through the scanner app. The image and content of the document is verified against the original in the database, resulting in a 100% accuracy match.
Manipulation Detection
As the OCR technology relies on more than just a match with the photo, it is able to immediately detect any type of manipulation or alteration of the document. This is extremely important as it prevents fake or spoof types of identification to be used to again assess to secure data, locations, or information.
Even highly skilled forgeries and copies of documents are easily detected in real time, immediately flagging any attempts to use manipulated or fake identification.
Creating Accounts and Sharing Data
At the same time, the document OCR scanner app can also be used to create accounts. The best systems fully integrate with CRM and account management software, ensuring there is an immediate population of necessary components in accounts and database records.
The best scanner apps using OCR technology can be used both online and offline. They function on smartphones, tablets, and other types of devices across systems with cameras and processors.
