[Gnumed-devel] well supported image scanner

[Sebastian Hilbert]

Hi all,

Just wanted to drop a short note for those who are looking for a serious image 
scanner. I got my hands on a new AVISION 220C2 which is a duplex sheetfed 
scanner. It's fast and is perfectly supported under MS Windows, GNU/Linux and 
MacOSX. It supports 9 user configurable scan profiles (image resolution, 
color, file format, target application) via its scan button.

This actually was motivation to fix the gmScanBackend on Windows which now 
supports any TWAIN device. I have tested it with a cheap webcam and the new 
scanner. Nice stuff.

Price tag is around 700 Euro which is not cheap but if you really want go get 
rid of those old paper documents irt worth your money I guess.

We hope to do some interesting things for GNUmed with it. Watch out for 
release 0.2.4 for initial support and hopefully 0.2.5 for more advanced 
stuff.

I would like you to test gmScanBackend with any TWAIN devices you have flying 
around. Easiest way is to grab version 0.2.4 of the client once it is 
released, connect to the internet database salaam.homeunix.com, open patient 
kirk, switch to document import and press the scan button.

Any help is appreciated.
