Twain

TWAIN stands for "Tool Without Any Interesting Name". TWAIN is a standardized software interface between software programs and the hardware you use to acquire images, for example, scanners.

Your software offers you a TWAIN interface. You can use this TWAIN interface to import images from a variety of devices, without having to make use of a special scanning software.

Note: You do not need the TWAIN interface to activate digital cameras that your software explicitly supports. These cameras will be activated and read out directly by your software.
