PANAdmin Scope

The PAN model is a part of the Document Processing feature that enables you to process Indian PAN cards as identity proof documents. This enables you to extract fields of data from a PAN card using an advanced OCR technology, and return the parameters recognized from the PAN card in the response.

You must provide the path to the image file of the front side of the PAN card. You must specify the model type as PAN using modelType. The PAN model can only process text in English by default. No other languages are supported.

Allowed file formats: .webp, .jpeg, .png

File size limit: 15 MB

The zia reference used in the code snippets below is the component instance created to perform these operations. The promise returned here is resolved to a JSON object.

const fs = require('fs');
const result = await zia.extractOpticalCharacters(fs.createReadStream('/Users/amelia-421/Desktop/pan.webp'), {modelType: 'PAN'}); // Pass the input file with the model type
console.log(result);
