Is there a unified scanner (the hardware) driver like what we have for printers?
Is there a unified scanner (the hardware) driver like what we have for printers?
I'm building a sw that should be able to read the papers read from a scanner and process them with a minimal user interaction, basically I don't want the user to jump into another sw, output an image or doc, and insert that into my sw, this kind of problem seems to be fixed when it comes to printers printing, but I couldn't find something similar for scanners (paper scanners especially, I have no use for QR and barcode scanners), the best I could find is USB HID interface, which seems pretty low level and if I'm not wrong device-specific so I have to write the implementation for each model I need to support (please correct me if I'm wrong), I know this is a Linux community but does Windows have something similar too (my sw will probably need to run on it)
Sorry if this isn't the most suitable community
You're viewing a single thread.
There is a TWAIN like project called SANE that I have no personal experience with, but it might point you into the right direction.
Yeah that seems like it, thanks
They also have https://sane-project.gitlab.io/website/ (got an SSL error with your link)
Your browser is trying to use https by default probably. It is an http only link.
It is an https website. The first time I tried I got the warning that the certificate is self-signed, but now it shows that it's secure
