Developer’s Description

By Sybink
Emulate a serial device as a HID keyboard.
Easy to install & configure, small footprint application that allows a serial device to be emulated as a HID keyboard to your operating system. This nifty little install will run on startup and take any input from your serial device and present it to your OS as if it were being typed on a keyboard. Features: Test barcode scanners, magnetic swipe cards, weighing scales, etc quickly and effortlessly direct from your desktop. Use serial devices, like barcode scanners, with POS systems that do not support your scanner model! Directly communicates with your PC's serial port (COM) and receive data being sent from the device. Configure COM port, baud rate, data bit, parity and stop bit. Settings saved so once configured, just works. Test communication directly with your serial device with built in receive window but you could as easily use notepad. Auto starts after logon for use with live systems where the user does not need to start the application.
