[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.

[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.

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.

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.

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/

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

Optical Character Recognition in JS for Browser is based on ocrad.js. OCR for Browser is a free extension and You can use this application to extract text from any image you supply. Just upload your image files. OCR for Browser takes either a JPG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, PNG. ========= Get OCR for Android (Beta release) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ulm.ocr ========= Add-on for Opera: http://bit.ly/1F0E0wP ========= Release 1.0.1 For safety reasons, I disabled the possibility to import an image from url. Finally, I wish to inform you that you can write or draw directly on the canvas to get the subsequent character recognition and text extraction
