The Ism.Scan.Client is a software that enables scanning of documents and images using a wide range of devices including webcams. It supports Twain and Wia and can capture high-quality scans.
One of the best features of the Ism.Scan.Client-Twain software is that there is no need for any additional drivers to be installed. I found this a real time-saver during the installation process. Once installed, users can simply select the scan source of their choice and begin scanning. The software is available as a standalone product, or as an Archive Client, which includes additional imaging post-processing, OCR and archiving features.
Those who are familiar with TWAIN will feel right at home with Ism.Scan.Client-Twain. TWAIN is an industry standard interface used to exchange data between image input devices and image processing programs. Ism.Scan.Client-Twain fully supports the TWAIN standard, enabling data to be accepted from any image input device, and allowing the software to work with any image processing program that also adheres to the TWAIN standard.
The software offers two options for controlling the scanner, either through the scanner software from the manufacturer, or via the Twain 1.9 protocol and its own template management system. Additionally, Ism.Scan.Client-Twain comes with its own integrated viewer. This presents scanned images both as a comprehensive overview and as individual images. The viewer also includes image scaling options and fine-tuning adjustments.
Finally, I was impressed with the software's support of WIA. Windows Image Acquisition is a software interface integrated into newer Microsoft operating systems for controlling cameras and scanners at the operating system level. WIA can be seen as a further development of TWAIN, requiring no driver installation and providing users with simple access to their imaging devices.
All in all, I can highly recommend the Ism.Scan.Client-Twain software. It offers users a surprisingly broad range of functionality, while remaining easy to use and setup.
