A GUI to ease the process of producing a multipage PDF from a scan. gscan2pdf should work on almost any Linux/BSD machine.

[Important] The project moved to GitHub. Please use the following GitHub project page from now on: https://github.com/twain/twain-dsm The home of the TWAIN Data Source Manager (DSM). The DSM manages the interactions between TWAIN applications and TWAIN Data Sources for the acquisition of images from scanners and cameras. This DSM is open source software and uses LGPL licenses.

[Important] The project moved to GitHub. Please use the following GitHub project page from now on: https://github.com/twain/twain-samples Use the TWAIN 2 sample data source and application, to test your TWAIN project, or as templates to incorporate TWAIN into your graphic applications or Scanner drivers. The samples are released as open source software and uses a Modified BSD licenses.

pcdtojpeg converts PCD (Kodak Photo CD) image files into high quality JPEG images. Conversions are at the maximum available PCD resolution, and are fully color managed - no blown highlights or color casts. A C++ PCD decoder library is also available.

minidjvu is a DjVu encoder for black-and-white images.

Linux printing, scanning, and photo-card access on most HP multi-function peripherals.

Scan Tailor has moved: http://scantailor.org https://github.com/scantailor/scantailor The sourceforge page will stay up in the interim, but all new activity will be done on the new github page. Scan Tailor is an interactive post-processing tool for scanned pages. It performs operations such as page splitting, deskewing, and removing garbage.

scanbd is a scanner button daemon. It polls the scanner buttons looking for buttons pressed or function knob changes or other scanner events as paper inserts / removals and at the same time allows also scan-applications to access the scanners. If buttons are pressed, etc., various actions can be submitted (scan, copy, email, ...) via action scripts. The function knob values are passed to the action-scripts as well. Scan actions are also signaled via dbus. This can be useful for foreign applications. Scans can also be triggered via dbus from foreign applications. On platforms which support signaling of dynamic device insertion / removal (libudev, dbus, hal) scanbd supports this as well. scanbd can use all sane-backends or some special backends from the (old) scanbuttond project. Supported platforms: Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD

YASW (Yet Another Scan Wizard) is an application used to correct images taken with a camera. It can be used to post process the scanning of a book (see http://http://www.diybookscanner.org/ ) or to correct an individual image taken with our camera (A poster in the street). You can see YASW (0.5) in action in Youtube http://youtu.be/__a9urAtQD4 thanks to David Landin. He also wrote an illustrated manual for YASW 0.5: http://sourceforge.net/projects/yascanw/files/YASW%200.5/How%20to%20use%20YASW%200.5.pdf/download

Scanning albums is not an easy task, since the extraction of actual photographs within scans is usually very tedious. This tool allows you to scan as much as you can fit into your scanner and then semi-automatedly extract the contained photographs. The tool also allows to extract scans of multiple single photographs (i.e. without album) Find a full documentation here: http://dominik-ruess.de/scannerExtract/ Note: The scanning itself is the most time consuming part. Maker sure you optimize that process. (see some hints on the link above.) Hint: **I NEED YOUR DATA**. If you have scans which won't be recognized well give me these (If they're not too personal etc - I won't use it for anything else than to improve this software). You might be interested in my other photography project (organize photographs and videos): https://sourceforge.net/projects/pivot-photo/

phpSANE is a web-based frontend for SANE written in HTML/PHP so you can scan with your web-browser. It also supports OCR.

SwingSane is a powerful, cross platform, open source Java front-end for using Scanner Access Now Easy (SANE) back-ends. The most powerful feature is its ability to query back-ends for scanner specific options which can be set by the user as a scanner profile. It also has support for authentication, mutlicast DNS discovery, simultaneous scan jobs, image transformation jobs (deskew, binarize, crop, etc), PDF and PNG output. It can also be integrated with your own Java application.

Linux-intelligent-ocr-solution Lios is a free and open source software for converting print in to text using either scanner or a camera, It can also produce text out of scanned images from other sources such as Pdf, Image, Folder containing Images or screenshot. Program is given total accessibility for visually impaired. A Tesseract Trainer GUI is also shipped with this package.

ScanTWAIN is an Open Source TWAIN production quality scanning application based on QT 3.x. ScanTWAIN allows for duplex scanning from automatic document feeder (ADF) based scanners via TWAIN.

https://formread.org FormRead is a completely free OMR (optical mark recognition) web software for scanning and grading user-filled, multiple choice forms. Create your formats with any of your office or drawing tools, scan them and parameterize their coordinates in an easy way. Once you have parameterized your form, you can print many of them, give it to your students/respondents, scan and recognize them with formread, and you can finally export the data in your preferred formats (excel, pdf, csv)

The Hewlett-Packard Co. Linux Inkjet Driver Project has moved!

A simple GUI frontend for scanning documents into PDF format. Utilizes scanimage, ps2pdf, pnmflip, and pnmtops commands. Automatically detects scanners avaliable on system. Developed on Linux but might work on other platforms with some tweaking.

A GUI for OCR programs.

Barcode recognition library (vb6, VB.NET & PHP5). Reads from Windows GDI device, .NET Graphics object or PECL Imagick source. Supports Code39, UPC, MSI, 2of5, Codeabar and many others.

SANE backend and stand-alone driver for Canon CanoScan parallel scanners (FB320P, FB620P, FB330P, FB630P, N340P, and N640P). Please note FB310P is NOT currently supported, sorry. For USB model support go to http://canon-fb630u.sourceforge.net/

This is a driver for the Artec AS6E parallel port scanner. It now can be run through a SANE interface, or as a stand-alone program. Version 0.4 scans pretty well in all modes, and at all hardware resolutions. It works in EPP, PS/2, and SPP modes.
