100OCRAPI
Hi everyone, For the past few months, I've been working on this project: an OCR API for ID cards. I think it's finally at a point where I'd love to get some feedback from the HN community.

I spent a lot of time specifically on Brazilian IDs to prove the model could handle high variance. This is still very much a work in progress, and I know there's a lot to improve.
