Better results with lang 'OCRB'
See original GitHub issueI have played around a bit with this tool and got much better results with lang ‘OCRB’ which can be fetched from here: https://github.com/Exteris/tesseract-mrz/tree/master/lang
After adding it to tesseract data dir, I have added to the following line -l OCRB: https://github.com/konstantint/PassportEye/blob/master/passporteye/util/ocr.py#L30
Just wanted to let you know - you probably want to include this by default into this tool or add a hint to the README.

@krupeshxebia yes i commented the same thing the results get poor if i use OCRB , The data needs to be trained or tessdata needs to get updated by google to provide us better results.
Hi @kmanadkat
let’s say if you have downloaded OCRB pretrained data you just need to specify it while reading mrz file like
mrz = read_mrz('abu_2.jpg',extra_cmdline_params='-l OCRB') -##### you can change OCRB to your pretrained data,Also Make sure you have the file in tesseract folder tessdata folder.
