Document digitization is a common task across various industries. Many documents—such as exam papers, legal contracts, patient records, account statements and more—contain barcodes that store crucial information. In this article, we will demonstrate how to build a .NET MAUI Windows app to digitize documents using traditional scanners (HP, Canon, Epson,...

In .NET MAUI development, both BlazorWebView and WebView are used to display web content, but they serve different purposes and are designed for different scenarios. The BlazorWebView is specifically designed to host Blazor components in a .NET MAUI application, allowing you to reuse Blazor components and share code between web...

Last week, we developed a desktop document scanner application using .NET MAUI and the Dynamic Web TWAIN REST API. We encountered an issue where the app’s UI, constructed with MAUI controls, behaved inconsistently on Windows and macOS. For instance, the Picker control functioned well on Windows but not on macOS....

Dynamsoft used to offer both the .NET TWAIN SDK and the Dynamic Web TWAIN SDK. However, the .NET TWAIN SDK is no longer maintained, and the focus has shifted to the web-based Dynamic Web TWAIN SDK. Despite this shift, you can still build a desktop document scanner application in .NET...

Dynamic Web TWAIN offers two methods for scanning documents from a web page: the HTML5/JavaScript API and the RESTful API. The former is suitable for web applications that require a high level of customization, while the latter is ideal for enterprise-class web applications, such as Salesforce, Oracle APEX, and Microsoft...

ASP.NET Core enables C# server-side applications to run on Windows, Linux, and macOS. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of building a web document scanning application with ASP.NET Core and Dynamic Web TWAIN SDK. This article is Part 1 in a 5-Part Series. Part 1 - Building...

Using the Dynamsoft Service RESTful API significantly simplifies the creation of document scanning applications. However, distributing these as desktop applications can be somewhat challenging. Users are required to install both the developer’s application and the Dynamsoft Service. Bundling them together in a single installation package would greatly improve the user...

Last week, we developed a RESTful service using .NET C# and Twain.Wia.Sane.Scanner library to scan documents from TWAIN, WIA, SANE, and eSCL scanners. This week, we will repurpose the C# code to construct a Blazor WebAssembly application that digitizes documents directly from a web browser, all without the need for...

Having previously developed libraries for Node.js, Flutter, Java, and Python to integrate with Dynamsoft Service’s REST API, we’re now turning our attention to .NET. In this article, we introduce a .NET library to interface with the REST API, facilitating document scanning from TWAIN, WIA, SANE, and eSCL compatible scanners. We’ll...

Dynamsoft Service streamlines document scanner programming for developers by providing a unified REST API that works with TWAIN, WIA, eSCL, SANE and ICA drivers. We have previously released a Node.js package and a Flutter plugin to interact with Dynamsoft Service’s REST API. In this article, we will extend this convenience...

Microsoft Power Apps is a low-code development platform that enables you to build custom apps tailored to your business needs. Within Power Apps, a ‘Canvas App’ is a specific type of app that allows you to design your interface by dragging and dropping elements onto a canvas, similar to designing...

Dynamsoft Service provides compatibility with all major document scanner protocols, including TWAIN, WIA, eSCL, SANE and ICA, across Windows, Linux and macOS platforms. Initially part of Dynamic Web TWAIN, it will soon offer its core scanning functionalities through a REST API in an upcoming release. This article guides you through...

Dynamsoft’s Web TWAIN SDK has long been a market leader in web-based document scanning, empowering numerous organizations to develop their own document management systems. The SDK consisted of two main components: a Dynamsoft service for scanner management and a JavaScript library for front-end development. Previously, this service could only be...

A few months ago, I published a cross-platform desktop barcode reading application built with Qt, Python, and Dynamsoft Barcode Reader. The supported input sources include real-time camera streams, image files, and screenshots. In this article, I will demonstrate how to set a document scanner as the input source. The SDK...

When building a TWAIN-compatible application and there is no physical scanner available, you can use a virtual scanner application for development and testing. TWAIN working group has released a TWAIN DS sample on GitHub. In this article, I will detail how to set up the development environment, as well as...

Dynamic Web TWAIN (DWT)’s Remote Scan feature makes it possible to scan documents from your scanner or multi-function printer (MFP) directly to any device. You may wonder what other network scanning options exist. This article is going to give a brief overview of scanning over the network and why DWT’s...

As the world best web document scanning SDK, Dynamic Web TWAIN supports all mainstream web application frameworks. This tutorial goes through the steps to build a simple document management application using Dynamic Web TWAIN and Angular. What You Should Know About Dynamic Web TWAIN (Include JS libs, API docs and...

You may get problems when using your application with some scanners and wonder whether it is the issue with your application or it is the device issue. If you are using a TWAIN library and your application is supposed to work with all TWAIN compatible devices, you can use Twacker,...
