Challenge Overview
Welcome to the Javascript OCR Challenge!
This is a creative prototyping challenge in which we would like to produce a working client-side only Credit Card OCR tool. This implies HTML5 & javascript only and no server side communications.
The end goal is to have a responsive protoype that uses the native camera of the device (mobile or desk/laptop) and scans a credit card. It then uses Optical Character Recognition to identify the:
- credit card number
- expiration date
- card holder name
In addition, identify the card type and validate it as legitamate card. OCR is not required for identification and check as it can be determined through an IIN check and a Luhn algorithm check.
The aforementioned data should auto fill into form on the page.
Check out this handy OCR library. Usage of this library is acceptable as is rolling your own.
That's it! Show us what you've got!!!
