PaperScan is an universal scanning software designed to offer power as well as simplicity of use.
While most scanning applications are dedicated to one scanner or one scanning protocol, PaperScan allows you to control any scanner, including network scanners (TWAIN or WIA protocols), cameras or acquisition cards.
All features are automatically negotiated and handled by PaperScan.
PaperScan provides flatbed and document feeder support.
