Now that I have paperless-ngx running and my #scanner is working, any suggestions for a #scanning software for #Linux?
I have an ADF duplex scanner and will mainly scan b&w ("lineart"), but sometimes in color, too. Output files should be PDF, OCR is optional. I need to be able to remove empty back side pages.
Is there anything that supports different, auto-detected page dimensions in a single PDF as well as auto-cropping and skew removal?
Anyone have a recommendation for a scanner that works reliably with Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS for preference), ideally using the scanimage commandline tool?
My goal is to scan some old photos at 1200 DPI. I picked up a CanoScan LIDE 400 and it is extremely fussy, stopping responding until I unplug/replug it every now and again (dunno if that's the scanner, the driver, or what, exactly).
Nothing's larger than 5"x7". Flatbed seems preferable.
I have 3+ #scanners, all with wildly different #color results, as you can see below. At least 2 of them can scan directly over LAN (in Simple Scan).
Ideally I'd want #colormanagement / calibration of scans, ideally with "Simple Scan" (otherwise, how do you do it with XSane?). I have a ColorMunki spectrophotometer, if it helps.
An important tool for your paperless office is, naturally, a scanner. The Pro and Server editions of DEVONthink even offer integrated scanner support for several models. But what should you look out for? Here are some things to consider. #devonthink#paperless#scanning#capturehttps://buff.ly/430EQH0
Here's an informative video about the laws surrounding #radioScanning in the #uk. Turns out there has been much skullduggery from the UK government.
It really helps drive home the fact that #canadians take a lot of our protections for granted. We have an enormous amount of work to do, but in some areas we shine.
Imagine jailing a 17 year old for being interested in the electromagnetic spectrum! Unthinkable in this country. Right?
I am with my parents for xmas and want to scan some old family photos. Any recommendations for a great open source #scanning app (my dad is using windows). Ideally opensource with auto detect of photos/crop/rotation etc? VueScan looks great but not sure if its #opensource.

On iOS I used the #scanning feature of the #Nextcloud app - better for scanning than everything I used before! But unfortunately, this feature is missing in the Android version of the app. I am currently stuck with the proprietary app ClearScanner - barely usable behind #pihole.
#introduction
Hi I'm Pierre, changed from Lego geek to computer geek at 11 when I touched a computer; they weren't that common in '80.
Studied computing at uni, became software #developer. Worked in several #startups, but not only.
Switched main OS to #linux in 1996. From time to time I contribute to #freesoftware projects, last to date being #DaggerfallUnity.
I enjoy #jazz#music (sometimes play #drums, but I need to replace my aging kit now), or #photography#nature.
My father #jeanpierreetchemaite died in September 2021. He was a #painter all his life since the age of 15, and left a huge wonderful #legacy, that I decided to digitize (foolish enterprise, I know) #art#painting#scanning#photography. I'm not sure yet how I should share it with the world.
