TWAIN
TWAIN is an applications programming interface (API) and communications protocol that regulates communication between software and digital imaging devices, such as image scanners and digital cameras.
TWAIN is not a hardware-level protocol; it requires a driver called ''Data Source'' for each device.
== History ==
The design of TWAIN began in January 1991. The TWAIN group originally launched in 1992 by several members of the imaging industry, with the intention of standardizing communication between image handling software and hardware.〔(What is the TWAIN Initiative? )〕 Review of the original TWAIN Developer’s Toolkit occurred from April, 1991 through January, 1992.〔(TWAIN docs index )〕
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."
