Drivers License Scanner

In our most recent release of Aristo Contact Management we've added support for a USB Drivers License Scanner. The basis of this project is that we connect this scanner to the local pc, integrate it into our customer screen, and then use the scanner to read customer information.

We've tried to make this a very simple process... after the user selects the Scan button the reader will whir and buzz as it attempts to pull information from the license. The reader itself accomplishes this by taking a picture of the license and then using text recognition (OCR) to separate the license into different fields we can populate our customer record with.

Once we read this information it automatically updates into the appropriate fields on our screen. In addition, because we're taking a picture of the license, we can also attempt to save a picture of the customer IF the regional license supports it.

At this point we support Canadian and US licenses and pull Name, Address, License and expiry fields.

Now, as a promotion for the first 5 clients who email me (and use Aristo Accounting and Contact Management) we're going to send you a drivers license scanner free! Quantities are limited so drop me an email at freeScanner@pbssystems.com and we'll contact the winners.
