Scanner Access Now Easy (SANE) is an API for handling image acquisition from scanning devices. The SANE API is designed so that only one driver needs to be written for each scanning device. Batch operations are easy to set up: options are selected once and used on each item in a set.
The LEADTOOLS SANE SDK consists of a Linux API (LtSane), a server library (Leadtools.Sane.Server), and the Leadtools.Sane Java library (Leadtools.Sane). The Leadtools.Sane Java assembly provides in-depth support for image acquisition from a wide variety of hardware devices using SANE.
