Not really. TWAIN also has the DataSource, the backend driver, a DataSourceManager multiplexing between the sources and the applications, and the frontend applications. The architecture is mostly the same. And yes, the data sources can be user interfae- less. Please note that I wrote a SANE backend, frontend as wel as TWAIN data sources and a TWAIN application. > SANE is an interface between a scanner driver and a scanning frontend. > TWAIN is an interface between a scanning frontend and a program that > uses or post process the image (word, photoshop).
