TextRecognizer can't recognize credit card font

[venator85]

Hi, Text Recognition can't recognize the font used in embossed credit cards for the card number:

I've tried with both "stable" com.google.android.gms:play-services-mlkit-text-recognition:17.0.0 and the beta v2 com.google.mlkit:text-recognition:16.0.0-beta1, but instead of the card number I just get garbage...

Is there a chance you may introduce support for it? Thanks ;)

Embossed credit card numbers are notoriously difficult to recognize. We are working on a solution specifically for credit card scanning that takes the formatting of the credit card number (typically xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx, but not always) as well as the check digit (a kind of checksum) into account to get to reliable detection. Note that we don't have a committed timeline to release this API yet, but will update this issue when we do.

Thanks. Any chance this has been updated yet?

I also facing issues for recognize the embossed text of debit card. I used the following approach, but result contains wrong detection and sometime replace 1 with 7, replace 5 with 6 and sometime not detecting the 1 ,7.

   implementation("com.google.mlkit:text-recognition:16.0.0")

   implementation ("com.google.firebase:firebase-ml-vision:24.0.3")
   
   
   Kindly guide me what should I do now,
   I need a custom solution for scanning the debit card I got success result in case of flat surface.

How do you create a TextRecognitionProcessor with TextRecognizerOptionsInterface.CREDIT_CARD parameter? i could not find any example.

[mdupierreux]

Hi, I'm also facing the same issue, credit cards with non embossed numbers work fine. Do you have any update on this issue ?

[ivanpataki]

Same here. Someone knows what the difficulty is? Works like a charm on iOS and there are old Android libraries (C/C++) that do this very well.
