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?

Please see the mrz-java Google code project. It is quite new though - it only supports four MRZ formats for now.
