Iterios
Read full descriptionHide full description
ITERIOS Scanner reads all MRZ parts on Passports (2 lines) and ID cards (3 lines) following the ICAO 9303 Specifications and the T1 ID Definition. The configuration supports OCR-B characters from ISO 1072-2 for use in machine readable travel documents. As machine readable zones store specific information, ITERIOS Scanner automatically extracts all data points and returns those, instead of simply digitizing the MRZ. ITERIOS Scanner is a part of ITERIOS Travel Agent - a CRM which is tailor made for travel agencies and answers specific requirements of a travel company.

You have a choice between 4 main decoders: - Barcodes: 1D and 2D symbologies (retail, industrial and transportation) - Swiss payments: Payment slips and QR-bill - License plates: 26 European countries car plates (ANPR) - Identity documents: Passports, ID cards, driving licenses We aim to offer the best-in-class solution to capture visual data with speed and accuracy. We focus on mobile devices, painstakingly developing decoders that perform directly on the video stream, 100% offline and carefully profiled to minimize memory pressure. If you're interested in integrating Computer Vision into your software, you might love our SDK!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Vision Explorer at Free against Iterios's $19.99. Iterios's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
