TWAIN

TWAIN represents a standard software protocol and application programming
interface (API) for the communication between devices, that can process
digital picture's data, such as scanners, digitale cameras and software.
TWAIN stands for "technolgy without an important name". Most scanners are
provided with the respective TWAIN drivers thus enabling the communication
with it.

Presently, the TWAIN protocol is only supported in the Windows versions.
On UNIX platforms, StarOffice is supporting the SANE standard, see
