The web demo is at https://alsenet-labs.github.io/mrz-scanner/dist/index.html (nothing is uploaded)
The code is "same-origin friendly". That means it can be run in the browser from the filesystem (no web server required), with eg:
git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
xdg-open mrz-scanner/dist/index.html
git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
cd mrz-scanner
npm install
gulp dist
xdg-open dist/index.html
You can build the scripts, start a web server and open a browser, with eg:
git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
cd mrz-scanner
npm start
You can also scan documents from the command line using this repository or the latest published npm package. On success the result will be stored in a file suffixed by ".mrz.json" along the original image by default.
git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
cd mrz-scanner
npm install .
