SerialMagic allows data entry like magic from virtually any RS-232 serial device (including bluetooth modules), into virtually any program. SerialMagic provides this magic on multiple platforms, so great ideas need not be tied to one operating system. SerialMagic provides powerful control of serial data allowing that data to be used with programs that have no knowledge that SerialMagic is running on the same system. SerialMagic works with virtually all web and browser technologies including, XML, SOAP, ASP, JavaScript, PHP, CGI, Python, Java, and .NET.

One of the most popular uses of SerialMagic is to provide a 'serial port wedge' or 'serial data wedge' for serial devices such as barcode scanners and scales. SerialMagic puts the bar code data from the scanner directly into the selected data field at lightning speed.

Easy security. It's a well-known fact that the more secure a key is the harder it is to remember. SerialMagic makes exceptionally strong encryption exceptionally easy. See an example on Palm OS.

One of the popular examples is using SerialMagic is with Track-it! from Intuit. Track-it! does not support barcode scanning directly, but SerialMagic barcode enables Track-it! and virtually all other popular inventory and tracking programs.

Software wedge products from other vendors, have limited features, or limit you to one program or operating system. SerialMagic can barcode enable virtually any application, and provides the freedom to run on multiple platforms.
