HectoData Launches Proprietary OCR Service: "Enhanced Development Convenience"

HectoData has launched its ID and document optical character recognition (OCR) services.

According to HectoData on July 21, OCR is a technology that converts characters included in images or scanned files into data that can be recognized by computers. HectoData provides its in-house OCR service, developed using the AI expertise of H.AI (Hecto AI), the dedicated artificial intelligence (AI) division within HectoGroup, via its developer center in the form of an API (application programming interface). Corporate customers can quickly implement OCR capabilities without having to build a separate OCR engine by using HectoData’s services.

HectoData’s OCR service focuses on ID cards and documents, which are frequently used in authentication and business processes. The ID card OCR supports resident registration cards, alien registration cards, and driver’s licenses. The document OCR supports certified copies of corporate registration, corporate seal certificates, and business registration certificates (individual and corporate).

To enhance development convenience, HectoData offers AI-based sample code along with its OCR service, enabling clients to easily and quickly integrate the API according to their service environment. The AI sample code, an industry-first service introduced by HectoData, automatically generates reference code in real time via AI, thereby improving developer productivity when integrating APIs and services.

HectoData has enhanced customer convenience by packaging its services to allow users to easily select the necessary functions. The packages, organized according to business purposes and functional requirements, come in four types: ▲ID card OCR ▲Document OCR ▲ID card OCR + Authenticity Verification ▲Document OCR + Authenticity Verification. Developers can use these package solutions to efficiently build business processes from document recognition to authenticity verification.

HectoData plans to further upgrade its OCR service by adding passport OCR functionality in the third quarter, as well as introducing features such as ‘Liveness’ detection—which identifies whether a real person is present by facial recognition—and ‘Face Match,’ which verifies whether the captured face matches the ID card photo.
