The TWAIN SANE Interface has been localized to the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Swedish. If you are cross-compiling using the MacOS X cross-compilation SDKs you need to install the corresponding SDKs for the used packages. If you want to compile the sources you also have to install the gettext package. If you don’t install this package you can still configure the sane-backends using a text editor in the Terminal. There is also a optional SANE Preference Pane package available, which makes it easier to configure the sane-backends drivers. Before installing the TWAIN SANE Interface package you should install the libusb and the sane-backends binary packages.

To use the interface you only have to install the binary package. The TWAIN SANE Interface is provided as a binary package and as source code. You will have an easier experience if you choose any other application. However using it with Apple‘s Image Capture application has become increasingly tricky with every version of Mac OS X. It works with applications supporting the TWAIN specification, which includes most applications on Mac OS X that handles images. It is designed to be used from within other applications. The TWAIN SANE interface is not a standalone application. The feedback from users have helped the SANE developers to fix problems with various backends, so with each release of the SANE backends more of the MacOS X specific problems have been solved. It works with my HP SCSI scanner, and many people have reported success with a large number of different scanners. For a complete list see the documentation on the SANE project homepage. The SANE backend libraries provide access to a large range of scanners connected through SCSI or USB. This is a TWAIN datasource for MacOS X that aquires images using the SANE backend libraries.

TWAIN SANE Interface for MacOS X Please feel free to fork this repository as a base for working on it yourself, and please do tag me if you make any progress! I do not anticipate making progress on this project myself in the foreseeable future, as, among other things, I have very little experience with Cocoa and Objective-C, and learning macOS development is not a current focus for me. The contents of this repository do not currently compile. This repository aggregates the source code components available at /twain-sane for the purpose of setting up a Git workspace for the project of getting the TWAIN SANE Interface running in 64-bit for current versions of macOS.
