Document verification beyond OCR
OCR extracts text from a document. That tells you what the document says. Document verification asks: is the document real? That is a different problem.
Our document pipeline checks substrate (paper texture, security threads), composition (template alignment, font drift), and provenance (chip data on eMRTD documents). OCR is one of many inputs — and not the most informative one.
