BioTools simplifies the process of adding failsafe biometric security to any computer programme - in minutes instead of weeks.

The BioTools solution consists of an ActiveX controls toolkit that can be used by developers, OEM's and system integrators as a biometric "front-end" to any commercial or custom-written software package. The toolkit considerably decreases (from weeks to minutes) the process of adding biometric security, and it comes complete with sample code to facilitate quick, smooth, trouble-free integration. The toolkit supports Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP, IIS 4 & 5 and the Microsoft Access and SQL Server databases. It is also ODBC-compliant, enabling it to integrate with most database systems. Biometric devices supported include Authentec, BioLink, Digital Persona, Ethentica, Kingston Technology, Lifeview, Precise Biometrics, Sagem, Sony, Tai-Hao and Targus.


The toolkit is available in two versions - Standard and Professional.

The Standard Toolkit consists of:
ActiveX controls
Visual Basic And Delphi Sample Code

BioTools Professional Toolkit
The BioTools Professional Toolkit extends the Standard Toolkit by adding web server samples and support tools, web-cam support, and Smart Card (chip card) support.

The Professional Toolkit consists of:
ActiveX controls
Visual Basic And Delphi Sample Code
HTML Samples
Active Server Pages (ASP) Samples
Visual Basic Web Server Samples
ActiveX controls for use with web-cams
ActiveX controls for use with Smart Cards (chip cards)
BioFast - high speed matching algorithm (5,000 - 10,000 matches per second)
