TWAIN:   Its the technology used to capture data from scanner, web camera to the PC.   There is an interesting story behind this technology.   Some companies had co-jointly found this technology (a universal standard TWAIN ), but they doesn't know how to name this technology. And, they didn't come to a uniform name. So, finally they decided to keep the name as TWAIN.   TWAIN stands for Technology Without An Interesting Name.   cool isn't it!!!   Where can I find this feature / tech: * take any photo editing tool like photoshop, ACDSee etc. * In these tools u can check for Acquire option -> Twain setup.  (for scanner and web camera).   Note:  The drivers written for scanners and web camera has to be developed based on TWAIN standard, then only the image editing s/w or any other s/w can get data using their drivers.     Regards, Surendiran     "SASKEN RATED THE BEST COMPANY TO WORK FOR IN INDIA - SURVEY 2004 conducted by the BUSINESS TODAY -Mercer-TNS India" SASKEN BUSINESS DISCLAIMER This message may contain confidential, proprietary or legally Privileged information.
