TWAIN and WIA Scanning Using C#

Capture images from all types of scanners, capture cards, video equipment, and digital cameras using C#. Our library is designed for high-volume scanning applications, and you can leverage intuitive low-level and high-level APIs to create your own custom TWAIN and WIA document acquisition process. Once captured, save scanned documents to a variety of formats, including PDF/A, PDF-OCR, encrypted PDF, multipage TIFF, and JPEG 2000.

Nutrient SDKs are deployed in some of the world’s most popular applications, such as those made by Autodesk, Disney, UBS, Dropbox, IBM, and Lufthansa.
