Dynamic Web TWAIN's main feature is interacting with imaging devices like scanners and cameras via different APIs like TWAIN, ICA, SANE and DirectShow. As long as the scanners are supported by these APIs, Dynamic Web TWAIN can use them.

Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) is the still image acquisition platform in the Windows family of operating systems starting with Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me) and Windows XP.

Most multi-function printers are supported by WIA without the need to install extra drivers. But for advanced scanners, TWAIN is still a better choice.

## eSCL

eSCL (also named Mopria) is a RESTful interface. The network scanners broadcast themselves via Bonjour and the client can find them and send HTTP requests to scan documents. It is a driverless solution. The supported devices are limited, mostly multi-function printers (MFPs).
