- This article is about TWAIN in computing. See also Mark Twain for the American writer and Shania Twain for the Canadian country music artist. "Twain" is also a word meaning two.
TWAIN is a standard for acquiring from image scanners: an image capture API for Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh operating systems. The word TWAIN is not officially an acronym, however, it is widely known as an acronym for "Technology (or Toolkit or Thing) Without An (or Any) Intelligent (or Important or Interesting) Name".
Overview
The standard was first released in 1992. It is currently ratified at version 2.0 as of 28th of November 2005 and is maintained by the TWAIN Working Group. TWAIN is typically used as an interface between image processing software and a scanner or digital camera. More on [ TWAIN ]
