Notification on the Standardization of OCR Output Field Names - Phase Two
Change Background:
To enhance the standardization and consistency of OCR recognition results, ZOLOZ plans to standardize the output field names of OCR, covering fields such as ID, name, gender, date, nationality, issuing country, and address. Given the wide variety of document types involved in current OCR recognition, ZOLOZ will complete the standardization of field formats in three phases.
ZOLOZ began the changes for Phase Two on April 6, 2025, and is expected to complete all changes for Phase Two by May 6, 2025. This announcement outlines the content and scope of the changes for Phase Two.
Change Content:
The following are the contents and scope of this change.
- Standardized Field Scope:
Explanation: When OCR does not recognize the following fields, ZOLOZ will output the field names with empty values. Additionally, if you wish to further process or customize the content output by ZOLOZ, this will need to be handled by yourself, as ZOLOZ will no longer provide such customization services.

The field representing ID includes the following :

| To keep results accurate and consistent, ZOLOZ outputs each data field exactly as it appears on the document—no translation is applied.

Fields that are not present on the document are still returned, but with empty values. |
