I do not think you want to use fingerprint scanning for attendance. Not only is print recognition a complex process, but many people will not be happy being forced to present fingerprints for attendance.
I would recommend a barcode-based card approach instead. Barcode software and readers are widely available and easy to use.

Well, if you must use fingerprint scanning then I would imagine that the hardware probably includes software for the management of prints and matching. I can't be of much help though on suggesting that hardware, sorry =(

tough luck kid. If you can't do the job it's time to come clean to your boss and tell him you lied about your capabilities when you applied for the job.

hi
i am using a scanner from china called fingertec.but look for other devices online.dont know wat your specs are related to the devices.if you have a scanner,should come with the sdk which allows to get the raw data out of the devices and process it.
first study the sdk of the device.

hi Sunil,
Will you be developing the software for web based or desktop based?
Which language will you be using?
Thanx

The software is developed as desktop based system.i am planning convert it to web based software.its seems a good choice from implementing attendance system over large area.
