It has come to our attention that Raven has announced its exit from the scanner business. As of December 31, 2023, Raven scanners can no longer access certain Raven cloud services. For those looking for help, there is likely a way to continue to operate Raven scanners utilizing TWAIN drivers. To be clear, the TWAIN Working Group is not offering a solution to replace Raven’s cloud-based offering, but we do want to be sure that Raven scanner users are aware they can operate their USB scanners by employing a TWAIN driver for communication between your scanner and software. For more information, please visit our forums, or contact us at info@twain.org.
