Minor bug fixes

Description

From the listing uploaded by “split-store”.

This application gives you the ability to extract information from a passport by using Optical Character Recognition on the MRZ code and export it using any text processing application on your phone (like email clients or any other application able to process text). This is an offline app with no internet permission. The captured data is never sent nor stored by the application. It uses the same OCR engine that is used by the Hostellers Receptionist application to capture identity information of Guest Check-ins. If you are using using this app in a Hotel/Hostel, please contact us as we may have a much better solution that integrates with your Property Management System. Note that this application uses heavy image analysis and optical character recognition algorithms that requires a good camera and a good CPU. If you have an old or a cheap Android phone, this may not work. To increase scanning success: -Avoid reflections: the code surface must have homogeneous colors. If you are under a bright light, adjust the passport inclination to avoid its reflection. -Keep passport's surface and phone parallel. Tested on: -Samsung s9: instant match -Huawei 6x, Samsung s6: match within seconds If you have an issue with a specific device, please let us know!

Passport Scanner APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Passport Scanner APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is be89981d6df9e9097e2d8ce6f95c6f9f.
