NICOSIA, Cyprus, Feb. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- AU10TIX 2^nd generation ID authentication and onboarding automation service has added Urdu language content retrieval (Including identity and document content itemization, as compared to plain OCR) from Pakistan ID documents. AU10TIX already covers content retrieval and itemization in all English and Latin-based languages, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic, Korean, Hebrew – enabling effective customer onboarding, forensic fraud detection and KYC on a global basis.

"With ca. 210 million inhabitants, Pakistan is the world's 5th most-populous country on the planet (Wikipedia)," says Ron Atzmon, Managing Director of AU10TIX: "In addition, almost 7.5 million Pakistani nationals live outside the country. Their credentials, Pakistani ID documents, have critical data in the Urdu language. By request from our clients we have prioritized Urdu content handling high on our end-2018 workplan. We are glad to open 2019 with Urdu language support built-in and service our entire client portfolio. We intend to continue adding additional languages based on commercial value prioritization."

"Urdu is not a simple Alphabet to handle in customer-captured ID document images," says Ofer Friedman, VP Marketing of AU10TIX: "We have implemented specialized OCR capabilities and content recognition algorithms that have been tested with a wide range of customer generated images. Now Urdu content can be used either in itself of in conjunction with Latin based ID document content. Customers bearing Pakistani ID documents can now be handled with similar confidence as Chinese, Japanese, Korean and other identification credentials. For our clients, such capabilities open up opportunities on a global basis."
