I've used a COM-based TWAIN component because it was free. I've used a
third party component (from Pegasus Imaging) because it was available,
easy to use and available in managed code. In both cases, the trick was
understanding the TWAIN event model because in both cases, that was the
underlying standard that was used.

Try the following link:

You need the twain_32.dll that comes with most scanners, but other than
that it should give you what you need.

Hello all, I'm looking for a method, to program TWAIN directly via API calls... Because the Twain OCX under Windows from Kodak is very slow... When I scan via software or the OCX, the TWAIN driver reloads everytime, I would like to keep it open, so I can close it when I exit the program. Thanx, Paul

Hi all! Sorry for this rather lengthy post. It's a long preamble followed by a few questions based on that. Here's my situation: I am trying to write a specialized scanner utility for my own needs, and I want to use the module twain to control my scanner. I haven't used the twain module before, which is most certainly why I'm facing problems. My problem is to interprete some of the information I get from the scanner. The scanner, by...

I'm currently developing an API of Twain for Java. As Twain is implemented in C (and in fact Im writing and calling C methods from the app) I couldn't find a better group to search for twain development related issues. Here's my question: Does anyone know why when I negociate the capabilities ICAP_XRESOLUTION and ICAP_YRESOLUTION I'm getting all sorts of repeated random values like: 100, 100, 0, 0, 117, 5, 8, 0, 87, 78, 79, 83, 115,...

I am developing an application that will need to take scanned images, name them, sort them, place them in specific folders, etc as they're scanned. Does anyone know what I need to do in C# to access and work with a TWAIN compliant scanner, or how I can find this information? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Robert

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
