I am looking around for an API in java or c++ to read the MRZ and decode the MRZ code in travel documents(passports).
More information on MRZ is at http://www.highprogrammer.com/alan/numbers/mrp.html. Has any one done this before with an API?

With ID cards, the first character in the MRZ indicates the type of document – I for ID card, P for passport, V for visa. Next is the country code and the three characters that indicate the country that issued the document. The country code is in accordance with International Organization for Standardization standards.
MRZ or Machine Readable Zone is a particular area in an identity document (passport specifically) that encloses the document holder's personal data. Nowadays, almost every country's official identity or travel documents have MRZ, containing confidential information encoded.
Please see the mrz-java Google code project. It is quite new though - it only supports four MRZ formats for now.
