       Some brief notes from the SCANNING talk 3rd June 2016
       By: Intelinside Date: June 4, 2016, 2:53 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) device driver
       interface is supported on Windows ME and Windows XP systems. If
       a WIA device driver is available for your scanner and you are
       using Windows ME or Windows XP, it is recommended that you scan
       using the WIA interface instead of installing the TWAIN driver.
       For win &, 8, 8.1, 10 the TWAIN driver/interface is fine.
       The word TWAIN is not officially an acronym, but it is a
       backronym. The official website notes that "the word TWAIN is
       from Kipling's The Ballad of East and West — '...and never the
       twain shall meet...' — reflecting the difficulty, at the time,
       of connecting scanners and personal computers. It was up-cased
       to TWAIN to make it more distinctive. This led people to believe
       it was an acronym, and then to a contest to come up with an
       expansion. None was selected, but the entry Technology Without
       an Interesting Name continues to haunt the standard."
       This is a link to the Microsoft page where the SCAN APP for
       windows 10 can be downloaded and installed.

       character recognition (OCR) technology:
       •
       text.
       •
       •
       •
       the page.
       •
       •
       blotches.
       •
       button on your keyboard) and then printed do not scan well with
       OCR.
       Troubleshooting
       If the OCR technology cannot read the document, it may be
       because:
       •
       blurry. Scan documents at a higher resolution, e.g., as a
       gray-scale TIFF file with 600 DPI.
       •
       •
       scanned words.
       •
       letters run together.
       •
       incorrectly.
       •
