I went through a bunch of tools before settling on one that actually felt reliable enough to use daily, and for me it ended up being https://ocrstudio.ai/mrz-scanner/ which I just keep bookmarked and use whenever I need a solid MRZ reader. What I like about it is that it doesn’t freak out when the image is slightly rotated or when the contrast isn’t great, it still manages to pull the data pretty cleanly most of the time. I’ve even tested it with screenshots and compressed images just to see how far it can go, and it held up better than expected.
