TwainSave

If you work with several documents, you probably understand how third-party software can help you simplify your tasks.

For instance, TwainSave is a lightweight program that provides you with a simple way of retrieving images from various TWAIN-compatible devices.

You can install this program on your computer without significant efforts, since you are not required to perform any advanced configuration steps.

The only necessary actions are accepting the End User License Agreement, defining a valid destination path on your computer, toggling desktop shortcut creation and following the on-screen instructions.

TwainSave lacks a standard Graphical User Interface (GUI) and provides you with a Command-Line Interface (CLI) instead, which might be an inconvenience for some users.

However, it offers you a detailed user manual that can help you understand its functionality better and make use of its capabilities to their full extent.

You can turn to this application if you need a quick way to save images from your TWAIN-compatible device to your computer. TwainSave can export to numerous formats, such as BMP, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, ICO, PCX, Targa, WMF, PSD and even PDF.

In order to do so, you need to run the application in a command prompt window and specify the desired arguments. It is possible to automatically adjust certain parameters, such as brightness or rotation. However, you can also set some of the parameters (e.g. contrast, bits per pixel, color, halftone or gamma) manually by specifying a desired value after the corresponding arguments.

To wrap it up, TwainSave is a lightweight command-line application that can help you acquire images from your TWAIN device in a quick, convenient manner. It can be easily installed on your computer, features a vast collection of features and provides you with a detailed user guide. However, its CLI might be an inconvenient for some users that have no previous experience with similar programs.
