Above 250 passport per month, the price per receipt processed starts at $0.10 and can decrease to $0.01 per receipt depending on the monthly volume. See the pricing page for more information.

🗺️ What are the supported countries?

Our passport OCR API is based on our computer vision technology that doesn't rely on text to extract the receipt data, but only on the image. This removes the language limitations.

The OCR was trained with passport from more than 50 countries and works on passport  from all around the world.

🕔 How complicated is it to integrate the API?

Mindee's API follows HTTP standards in order to allow any developer to integrate the passport OCR API into their applications easily.

We also offer a set of client libraries in all the main back-end languages, and an open-source UI toolkit that helps create front-end features. You can check out our open-source repository or our API documentation for more details.

⚡ What's the average API response time?

The processing time is around 1.3 seconds per page for pdfs and 0.9 seconds for a passport  image.

We often improve this processing time and our target is below 500ms. Our goal is to make sure you can create real-time user experiences in your application.

🎯️ Does the OCR work on low-quality images?

Yes, the OCR was trained on a lot of receipts from a wide variety of layouts and image quality and learned to process the most complex ones.

We also use data augmentation to make sure that no blur or ink stains prevent the OCR from reading the data as long as it's readable.

🤓️ Do you offer technical support?

We have a Slack community where you can ask your questions and chat with our team.

We don't do the integration in your infrastructure ourselves but we can set up a custom level of support on a per-case basis if needed.
