cheque-ocr

Optical Character Recognition for cheques using the MICR Code standard.

Input	Output
	{ confidence: '86.748', numbers: { transit: '00502', institution: '010', account: '705555' } }

Installation

• Required: node v6.8.0 or greater
• Recommended: n and avn
• To install, run npm install cheque-ocr [TODO]

Usage

var chequeOCR = require('cheque-ocr'),
    fs = require('fs');

var image = fs.readFileSync('/path/to/image.jpg');
chequeOCR(image, function(err, result) {
  console.log(err, result);
});

For a demo, run node examples/basic.js.

How it works

1. [TODO] Normalize orientation of cheque image.
2. Determine region of interest (ROI) where the MICR Code exists.
3. Within ROI, use Tesseract to convert MICR Code to text.
