ID card Scanner and Passport Reader Cut down Airport Wait Time

Just about everyone has to travel for one reason or another. It may be a part of your job or you might travel a few times a year for vacation. Whatever your frequency of travel, everyone has experienced long delays at the airport -it’s simply a fact of life. But thanks to new methods of passenger screening, such as the ID card Scanner and Passport reader, wait time at the airport can easily be cut down. Self-processing systems are the way of the future, and long lines at the airport will soon be a thing of the past.

Optical character recognition (OCR) is a new technology that allows machinery and computers to automatically process IDs and Passports. With Wintone Passport Scanner, travelers can avoid long lines at manned security checks by simply scanning their passports and travel documents on their own. Here’s how it works: Imagine you’ve just arrived at the airport, checked in, and are about to pass through security. Rather than waiting in line and having your travel documents inspected by airport personnel, you can simply put your passport over a scanner. Using OCR, the information on your passport is registered, processed and screened -all within a very short period of time.

Machines never slow down, regardless of the number of passengers at the terminal. The ID card Scanner and Passport reader can easily process tens of thousands of people per day. This speeds up wait time while checking IDs for the most pertinent information. The process is fully automated and practically instantaneous. It can also dramatically reduce the margin of error when it comes to security checks.

What is OCR?

As you seen these words on screen, your eyes and brain are carrying out optical character recognition without you even noticing. Your eyes are recognizing the patterns of light and dark that make up the characters printed on the screen and your brain is using those to figure out what I’m trying to say. Computer can do this too, but at first it needs an “eye”(an optical scanner or a digital camera). And then OCR will turn the picture taking by this “eye” into text.

Once the printed page is in machine readable form, you can save a lot of energy to do manual input, and the computer will do this for you in few seconds. For example, during the hotel check-in, hotel receptionists have to put your information into registration forms word by word, it’s very slow, and sometimes the staff will make mistakes.
