Quickstart

Web demo

The web demo is at https://alsenet-labs.github.io/mrz-scanner/dist/index.html (nothing is uploaded)

Web demo from filesystem

The code is "same-origin friendly". That means it can be run in the browser from the filesystem (no web server required), with eg:

$3

`
git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
xdg-open mrz-scanner/dist/index.html
`

$3

`
git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
cd mrz-scanner
npm install
gulp dist
xdg-open dist/index.html
`

Web demo from web server

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
`

Command line tool

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.

$3

`
git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
cd mrz-scanner
npm install .
mrz2json [ -d|--dest-dir ] [...]
`

$3

`
npm install -g mrz-scanner
mrz2json [ -d|--dest-dir ] [...]
