KioWare releases version 8.13 of KioWare for Windows

January 30, 2018

Analytical Design Solutions Inc. has released new versions of its KioWare for Windows kiosk system software product.

KioWare kiosk software products lock down the device into kiosk mode, which secures the overall operating system, home screen and usage of applications.

Version 8.13 of KioWare for Windows (Lite, Basic, and Full with Kiosk Management) has added support for Chrome 63. KioWare for Windows now supports Basic Authentication. Support has also been added to keep the virtual keyboard on screen at all times and dock it to the top of the screen.

Using the KioCall Video Conferencing app (from KioWare), a KioWare for Windows kiosk can now allow incoming calls while in attract mode.

For those interested in kiosk accessibility, KioWare for Windows supports the Nav-Pad device by Storm-Interface. Used in conjunction with appropriately designed browser-based applications, KioWare for Windows and the Nav-Pad device can improve accessibility for those with impaired vision, restricted mobility or limited fine motor skills.   

KioWare Lite for Windows includes:

• Support for Chrome 63.
• DPI Scaling now supported (in accordance with Windows' settings).
• Configure KioWare to open downloads in new tabs.
• The virtual keyboard can now be set to stay on screen at all times. The virtual keyboard can now be docked to the top of the screen.
• Support has been added for Basic Authentication.
• KioWare for Windows kiosks running KioCall Video Conferencing can now be set to allow incoming calls while in attract mode.

KioWare Basic for Windows and KioWare Full for Windows now includes:

• Added support for capturing the full license image to the ScanShell OCR (for driver's license scanning). Users can scan not only the data on the license, but also capture an image for increased security.
• KioWare can now communicate with a remote NetEPay server (for use with Datacap EMV compliance).

All of these products are available as a free trial with nag screen.  Existing clients with current support have the ability to upgrade.  

KioWare has been providing OS, desktop and browser lockdown security for the kiosk and self-service industry since 2003.
