Most ALPR APIs were trained on US/EU plates and choke on anything Indian - they can't read Devanagari, miss BH-series formats, and return garbage on Hindi numerals. Parkese ALPR reads English, Hindi, and Marathi plates natively, auto-detects the script, and parses every plate into state + RTO district + series + number - validated against MoRTH rules. Sub-500ms response. 2,500 free scans, no signup. Curl it right now.
Hi Everyone,
At Parkese, We've been building a parking management platform for Indian malls and offices for the last few years. Early on, we hit a wall: no ALPR API on the market could reliably read Indian plates.
The reasons were stupid but real:
→ Maharashtra plates are often in Marathi (Devanagari script)
→ UP plates use Hindi numerals - ०१२३४५
→ BH-series plates have a completely different format
→ Every global ALPR API we tried was trained on US/EU plates and
returned garbage on Devanagari
So we built our own. It powered our parking sites for a year, customers kept asking if they could buy just the ALPR layer - so today we're shipping it standalone.
→ Reads English, Hindi, Marathi (auto-detects script)
→ Parses plate into state + RTO + series + number, validated against
MoRTH rules
→ Sub-500ms response time
→ Built in India for Indian roads and formats, with vehicle data staying within India instead of flowing through unknown foreign ALPR providers.
There's a public trial key on the page - 2,500 free scans, no signup. Curl it in 30 seconds.
Would love feedback from anyone building parking, toll, fleet, or CCTV products. Ask me anything.
