At the recent AIIM International AI+IM Global Summit, we asked the audience if they knew what the TWAIN Working Group does and a majority answered that they did not know, or wanted more information. So we’ve created this short explainer video as a high level overview for our 3 projects of TWAIN Classic, TWAIN Direct and PDF/Raster.

1. TWAIN Classic is a mature specification used for USB document scanners.
2. TWAIN Direct is a newer, RESTful API architecture, specification used for Ethernet or WiFi scanners and MFP’s.
3. PDF/Raster, or PDF/R, is a simplified version of PDF optimized for document scanning IoT devices.
