Description
SANE stands for "Scanner Access Now Easy" and is an application programming interface (API) that provides standardized access to any raster image scanner hardware (flatbed scanner, hand-held scanner, video- and still-cameras, frame-grabbers, etc.). The SANE standard is free and its discussion and development are open to everybody. The current source code is written to support several operating systems, including GNU/Linux, OS/2, Win32 and various Unices and is available under the GNU General Public License (commercial applications and backends are welcome, too, however).

This package includes the backends for many scanners. A libsane-extras package containing some not-yet-included backends is available separately.

Graphical frontends for sane are available in the packages sane and xsane. Command line frontend scanimage, saned and sane-find-scanner are available in the sane-utils package.
