Web Document Upload - How to Data Scrape? OCR?
I'm building a web application using Laravel where I have a section for users to upload documents. Like passports or driver's license. I've seen it where banks can extract the data from uploaded pictures. My client wishes to do the same; like extract expiration dates of the documents.
Can someone point me the right way on how to do this?
The basic process would be
User uploads a license
Expiration Date extracted
Data Stored into DB
php laravel ocr

The fastest solution is to use hosted OCR from Google Cloud Vision, Azure or (free) OCR.space. You can compare the ocr software here, and see if the OCR results are good enough for your purpose.
