DESKO micro OCR®
The OEM solution for flexible installation
Perfect for anyone who needs an individual, flexible OEM solution for reading passports, ID cards and other travel documents: Our intelligent DESKO micro OCR® can also be integrated into your swipe reader. The compact module consists of an OCR camera (Optical Character Recognition) for optical character recognition, a circuit board and a connection cable. Installed in the swipe slot of a swipe reader, the module rapidly captures the personal data stored in the machine-readable zone (MRZ) of the ID documents. As the core and “eye” of every swipe reader, the micro OCR delivers impressively high quality, powerful efficiency and optimal flexibility.
Impressive flexibility
for capturing ID data
Thanks to its handy size, similar to the size of a quarter, it can be easily integrated into any swipe reader to read the machine-readable zone.
The OCR camera records the data from the machine-readable zone of the ID document. This makes our OEM module ideal for general data capture along with visitor registration, visitor management and lots more.

Efficient data transfer thanks to high-contrast camera
Despite its extremely compact size, the micro OCR features a powerful, fast camera. Using infrared light, the camera generates a particularly high-contrast black-and-white image of the ID’s MRZ. The lettering is emphasized visually while the background nearly disappears. The image is transferred to your software, which then reads in and analyzes the data.
