The UniMag family of audio jack readers communicate with the host device (phone or tablet) via the audio jack. The way this works is similar to a fax machine. In that, the card is read and the character stream is converted to an audio signal and is sent to the phone or tablet via the audio jack. An application written using ID TECH's audio jack SDK will "listen" to the audio and convert it back to characters by decoding the audio signal.
