Introduction
TWAIN is a standard software protocol and applications programming interface (API) that regulates communication between software applications and imaging devices such as scanners and digital cameras.
The TWAIN group originally launched in 1992 by leading industry vendors who recognized a need for more communication between the image handling software and hardware. Today the TWAIN standard, including the specification, data source manager and sample code, are maintained by the TWAIN Working Group.
The TWAIN Working Group is a not-for-profit organisation which represents the imaging industry. TWAIN's purpose is to provide and foster a universal public standard which links applications and image acquisition devices. The ongoing mission of the
organisation is to continue to enhance the standard to accommodate future technologies. The latest released version of the TWAIN standard is 1.9
