Dynamic Web TWAIN
Dynamic Web TWAIN is a browser-based document-scanning SDK for web applications that control TWAIN, WIA, ICA, SANE and eSCL scanners.
What Dynamic Web TWAIN is
Dynamic Web TWAIN is a browser-based document-scanning SDK for web applications that control TWAIN, WIA, ICA, SANE and eSCL scanners. Scanning runs locally through the Dynamsoft Web TWAIN Service, and document data is not sent to Dynamsoft servers. Scans can be exported as PDF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG or BMP, including multipage PDF and TIFF. A built-in viewer and editor provide annotation, zoom, deskew and rotation. Disk caching supports unlimited pages per session, and a 64-bit service mode is available for large data. Supported client systems include Windows 7 or later, macOS 10.15 or later, and Linux distributions for x64, ARM64 or MIPS. Listed browsers include Chrome, Firefox and Edge on Windows and Linux, and Safari on macOS. The SDK works with React, Vue, Angular, JavaScript and TypeScript, and has server-side compatibility with Node.js, PHP, ASP.NET, Java and Python. A 30-day trial gives full SDK access without feature restrictions and requires no credit card. Pricing is available on request; there is no free plan. PDF Rasterizer, Barcode Reader, OCR and Webcam add-ons are licensed separately.
