Wondering if anyone knows of a toolkit that would enable sending to a TWAIN “queue” (for lack of a better term) that could be used as a TWAIN driver for a 3rd party application? I have an application that can perform document capture and has an open framework to integrate this type of capability but I would like to leverage an existing toolkit if possible and/or application. A direct integration would be done through C# but we could leverage web services, VBS/JS, or command line interfaces if there isn’t a direct API. Thanks in advance
My first thought is that I don’t know of anything like what you’re describing. However, I think a bit of clarity might help. Can you describe in a little more detail what you’re looking for. A simple example would be useful…
Here’s what I’m looking to accomplish:
I have a distributed capture middleware that already takes care of connections to MFDs and electronic file sources. It also handles the document cleanup/manipulation. What I am looking to accomplish is routing to a TWAIN queue. Ideally it would enable our application to post images/documents to a queue that can be accessed via TWAIN. I have seen applications that use a fake TWAIN driver to point to a single image in a UNC location but I would need something more robust that lets us post multiple images/documents, ideally with an ability to include metadata (although that’s not a requirement). The TWAIN driver could then be used by other TWAIN compatible applications to pull in the images/documents from the queue.
Hi Jim,
I don’t quite understand your requirements. Do you mean you already have some images located on your server, ftp site and/or local folders? And you want to load these images to your application, do some editing work and then upload them to somewhere in the multi-page PDF or TIFF format. Besides loading existing images, you also want your app to capture images from TWAIN compliant devices. Am I correct? If this is the case, you can check out Dynamic Web TWAIN to see if it is what you are looking for.
