Banks used it on checques for ages, why would it be that difficult? You do need a compatible typesetting though.

- ryaniscool 3y agoWhere did you get your information? MICR lines, the line of numbers at the bottom of the check, use magnetic ink. The acronym stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. So for ages, they didn't use optics at all. In the modern day, cheque OCR is monopolized by one company, Mitek. They may use tesseract somewhere in their stack but I've never read that anywhere.
