CardScribe
CardScribe® - ID Card Attendance Application
CardScribe® is a free
application that TokenWorks supplies for the CardTool® card reader.
It is typically used to in time and attendance applications to capture card
swipe information. It can also be used as a diagnostic tool to see
the actual data encoded on a stripe and in inventory/logging
applications to track cards which have been issued or deployed.
CardScribe captures information on tracks 1, 2 and/or 3 from a
magnetic stripe, replace up to six delimiters characters in the data
stream and appends a date/time stamp and stores the data in a memo of
the Palm OS MemoPad application. Shown below is what a typical
CardScribe record stored in the MemoPad looks like.

CardScribe has a custom delimiter configuration feature which allows
allows the data to delimiters normally found on the magnetic stripe to
be 'cleaned' to facilitate proper importation to desktop applications
like Microsoft Excel. Up to six different characters in the magnetic
stripe data stream can be replaced with characters of your choosing.
Using the Hotsync function of the Palm Desktop application (free
downoad available at
http://www.palm.com/software/desktop/) means easy transfer of
the data to programs like Microsoft Excel or Access. See the
CardScribe user manual for details on data exporting.
