DL Wedge Emulation Utility 2.01

DL Wedge Emulation Utility is a lightweight tool that turns scanned data into keystrokes, letting you populate any application as if the information were typed by a user. Designed with driver’s license workflows in mind, it can read and format license data from common barcode or magnetic sources, then inject fields into forms in the exact order you need—no custom integration or SDK required.

Highlights

• Keyboard-wedge emulation: routes input from scanners and readers directly into active applications
• Driver’s license focus: parses common DL barcode/magstripe formats and separates key fields (name, address, DOB, ID number)
• Flexible field mapping: define templates to match form layouts, including tab/enter navigation and custom delimiters
• Smart formatting: normalize dates, trim whitespace, fix capitalization, and apply consistent field labels
• Privacy controls: mask or omit sensitive fields, set field-level permissions, and optionally log only non-PII events
• Profiles and targeting: create per-application profiles with different mappings, hotkeys, and start/stop rules
• Feedback and testing: on-screen indicators, sounds, and a test console to verify data before live use
• Broad device support: works with most keyboard-emulating (HID) scanners and readers on typical desktop setups

Common use cases

• Age verification and customer onboarding
• Visitor management and lobby kiosks
• Healthcare and clinic check-in
• POS and retail loyalty enrollment
• Government and campus access control

If you need to capture driver’s license data quickly and reliably without building a custom integration, DL Wedge Emulation Utility offers a straightforward, configurable solution that fits into existing workflows.
