TSCR — read Thai national ID cards in the browser, free.
TSCR is a Bytemotion product: an online Thai national ID smart-card reader that runs in a web browser. Stable, secure, free to use. Built for the desks where someone scans a Thai ID card every few minutes — clinics, government services, any back-office that needs verified citizen data. Live at tscr.bytemotion.co; used in production by Puredent dental clinics and embedded in Hubswitch flows.
Thai national ID cards have a chip with structured citizen data — name, surname, address, date of birth, photo. A normal web app can't read it: browsers don't talk to USB smart-card readers directly, and the desk staff end up typing the data manually, with all the typo and lookup overhead that implies.
TSCR closes that gap. A small native helper for macOS and Windows runs alongside the browser, talks to the card reader, parses the chip, and exposes a local endpoint the web page can hit. The web app reads JSON, fills the form, the human verifies and saves. Maybe two minutes saved per first-time visitor — across a clinic's daily intake, that's real.
The product is intentionally simple: free, no signup, no SaaS dashboard, no per-scan billing. Plug a card reader into a Mac or Windows box, install the helper once, point your web app at the local bridge, and you're reading cards. The tscr.bytemotion.co page exists so anyone can verify their reader works before integrating.
Live customers include Puredent (dental clinics, where intake is patient-heavy and photo verification matters) and an embedded use inside Hubswitch flows. The marketing position on the public site is in Thai — that's the audience that needs this — but the integration code on the web side is language-neutral.
