Scan a document, save to server

    What I need is a webpage app that allows to to scan an image then save it on the server via HTTP post. Not save it locally then upload it.

    Anyone know where I could get such a thing?

    Hmm, this probably is quite difficult. You'll need C# or C++ program for it, which can run on a PC .. I'm not familiar to C#, C++ or any other language of the application kind (VB, Java, Delphi etc), so I rather don't know how feasable this is, or not; but you could try to post it on a freelancer site, and see what it gives :)

    You could have an applet scan something in and send it direct with post I guess.

    www.dynamsoft.com has a Dynamic Web Twain application for a few hundred dollars. I'm using it for an extensive site scanning medical records and it's so-so. Right now I am having problems with bandwidth (slow uploads) but it's very robust. Technical support is pretty bad (slow, non-English speaking so translations are weak) but the product itself is VERY well documented and very flexible and robust.

    Let me know if you get it and have any questions, I've worked though most of the gotcha's at this point. :)

    Hmm interesting - kinda tempting to write my own java twain applet and undercut them wildly selling it for 10 quid or something! :D

    Maybe, but if you look at the work they've put into it, I doubt it would be worth your time. It's VERY robust.

    Well there is robust and there is robust :)

    A simple TWAIN scan and HTTP post upload should be fairly straight forward applet to make.

    I wish I knew how to do that, lemme tell you. ;) I had to buy their software, and some days when they were slow on support I was going out of my mind! :lol:
