Additional AccuKiosk scanning modalities beyond QR Code

Hi there, we’re looking at moving off of iAccu and into AccuKiosk, but we’re still trying to overcome a intake modality issue. We’re not configured to use QR Codes, and we’re moving away from magstripe on our Student ID’s to Transact’s CampusID using Mobile Credentials (Apple / Google / Samsung Wallet) and separately Tap / NFC physical IDs.
Are there any other modalities that could be added to AccuKiosk? Reading Tap / NFC on our scanner iPhone’s through the AccuKiosk app would be excellent, or using an external device would be great too. We don’t have a working method for adding a QR code to the Mobile Credentials, as Transact seems to have it pretty locked down.
Alternatively, if you integrated with Transact’s CampusID, that would be great too.
We’re still looking at solutions to this problem, but we need to be off magstripe (and therefore iAccu) by the Fall for a new dorm to open. If we can’t find a working replacement through the AccuKiosk or another Accudemia solution, we might have to find another product that integrates tighter with our new IDs.

Hello. The latest version of Accudemia has a new feature that allows you to design and generate customized student ID cards. These cards can be printed on common Avery label card stock using your office printer. The customized ID card can have a QR code on it, which will work with AccuKiosk.
In addition to printing an ID card, Accudemia can also email an image of the ID card to your students. The student can display this image on their phone and scan the QR code on it with AccuKiosk.
Another option: Have your students use the Accudemia app, which will display the student's QR code on the screen and will allow scanning this QR with AccuKiosk. The Accudemia app is free for all regular license holders of Accudemia.
Yet another option with the Accudemia app: You can display a special QR code on your sign-in station (or AccuKiosk station) that the student can scan with their Accudemia app. This will allow them to sign in and out on their device instead of the AccuKiosk or sign in station.
A third option is to use the QR code generator built into Accudemia. This will print out the student QR codes on Avery QR code labels that the students can stick to the back of their current student ID card or on their books.
I hope one of these many options would work for you.
