Ntwain -

NTWAIN (Native Twain) is an open protocol that enables communication between a computer and imaging devices, such as scanners, cameras, and digital cameras. Developed in the late 1990s, NTWAIN was designed to provide a standardized interface for acquiring images from a wide range of devices, allowing users to easily integrate digital imaging into their workflows.

That said, millions of industrial scanners, medical imaging devices (X-ray digitizers), and microfilm scanners still run on old -based systems. Hospitals and banks are notoriously slow to update firmware. As long as there is a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 machine running in a basement somewhere, ntwain will remain alive. ntwain
