OCR315 / OCR 316 - USB OCR Reader

Company HID
Date 04.05.2014
The OCR315 and OCR316 are compact and robust OCR readers. The devices can be physically attached to a variety of handheld and ultra mobile PCs, or simply attached to standard desktop keyboards or monitors. The interface connection is via USB. The reader's track length is optimised to ensure that passports and ID cards are correctly aligned for consistent and accurate reading.

The OCR decoder has an advanced recognition engine that provides highly accurate and very fast document reading.

The OCR315 bi-directional reader can read 2-line and 3-line MRZs from passports, ID cards, machine-readable visas and ICAO9303 travel documents.

The OCR316 model has all the MRZ functionality of the OCR315, but also integrates a three-track MSR to read credit and debit cards, loyalty cards and frequent flyer cards.
