Does anyone know of a fingerprint scanner (preferably UK supplied) that comes with an API?

Well I know Identicator (http://www.identicator.com) makes products for this. They supply an SDK as well. We used to use them back when I worked on ID systems a few years ago and they were excellent. I bought a simple cheap one from for my home PC to use fingerprint login with Windows NT/2000 (get tired of typing passwords all the time). They should have UK distribution, though I'm not sure.

Thanks for the info. How've you found using fingerprint scanners and the whole biometric experience?

We have fingerprint scanners as our office entry doors. They work well - though the software application supplied by the vendor to program the door units is a bit weak (the print identifiers are locally downloaded to the units). Authorize time is < 2 seconds. There are a couple of different single-PC fingerprint devices that will unlock a particular PC and type in your password to standard windows logons on the market - let me know if you have trouble finding them - at $100 or so for a single PC, its a pretty reasonably priced thing to try for yourself. --Mark Terrano www.ensemblestudios.com (Creators of the Age of Empires series)
