Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Chance that someone already made SANE binding for your programming language of choice, e.g. jfreesane for java, python-sane , etc.
Yes that's what I've been looking for, thanks a lot
There is a TWAIN like project called SANE that I have no personal experience with, but it might point you into the right direction.
sane-project.org
I know TWAIN, so mow I'm curious what SANE stands for.
I didn't know TWAIN, so I looked it up and am glad I did:
TWAIN: Technology Without An Interesting Name
Scanner Access Now Easy
Not a joke.
Lol 😁 those people sure do know how to acronym!
At least it’s not a recursive acronym 😅
They also have https://sane-project.gitlab.io/website/ (got an SSL error with your link)
Your browser is trying to use https by default probably. It is an http only link.
It is an https website. The first time I tried I got the warning that the certificate is self-signed, but now it shows that it's secure
Yeah that seems like it, thanks
Yes, you can now use AirScan (also called something else I don't recall currently) for "driverless" scanning.
Is that Apple-specific?
No, it's a cross platform standard. You can even run a server on Linux interfacing with SANE to convert older scanners.
I looked up the non-Apple name and it's eSCL. That's a lot easier to search for.
Found it, thx
