Hema, We've used http://www.eztwain.com/eztx/index.htm in the past for a .NET-based application.
It basically loads up an ActiveX application to scan, and then it uploads the content to whatever URL you want it to be. It had a problem using SSL uploads if I recall correctly, and new licenses are discontinued anyways, but it will give you a good idea of how to implement such a solution. It needs to be in the client-based (the scanning) using an ActiveX or other plugin, then posting the resulting file to the ROR script. If you have specific security instructions (HTTPS, no temporary storage ..etc) you have to check the scanning component for this. Email me if you want to discuss this further.
