@microblink/blinkid-in-browser-sdk 6.0.0

Release 6.0.0

on Node.js NPM

6.0.0

New features:

Extracting ID data from Arabic and Cyrillic IDs

• When we say you can scan IDs across the globe, we really mean it. Our list of supported documents got richer now that we can scan IDs including Arabic and Cyrillic scripts. This fantastic new feature also covers multiscript IDs meaning that we extract data written in both Latin and Arabic data fields.

Better barcode scanning and data extraction

• We’ve improved scanning accuracy for all IDs that hold a PDF417 or other barcode types. This means that the error rate is now 20% lower, which brings even cleaner and more reliable data with every scan of an identity document.

What's new in the BlinkId(Combined) Recognizer?

• Renamed BlinkIdRecognier to BlinkIdSingleSideRecognizer
• Renamed BlinkIdCombinedRecognizer to BlinkIdMultiSideRecognizer
• We introduced new classes: StringResult, DateResult, and Date in order to support multiple alphabets. If a recognizer supports multiple alphabets, its result class (e.g., BlinkIdMultiSideRecognizer.Result) will return StringResult for results that previously returned String.
• Added new result property of an AdditionalProcessingInfo type that provides information about missingMandatoryFields, invalidCharacterFields, and extraPresentFields
• Unified DataMatchResult and DataMatchDetailedInfo into a single structure DataMatchResult (removed dataMatchDetailedInfo result member)
• Added new result member cardOrientation to ImageAnalysisResult structure
• More info about transitioning to BlinkID v6.0.0 can be found in Transition Guide
