The TWAIN Working Group (TWG) and Keypoint Intelligence announced the launch of a new Testing and Certification Programme for TWAIN Direct and PDF/Raster. This subscription-based programme provides developers, independent software vendors (ISVs), and scanning device manufacturers with comprehensive testing and certification services to ensure compliance with the TWAIN Direct and PDF/Raster specifications, streamline development, and improve hardware and software interoperability.
With thousands of automated scripts, tests, and verifications, these tools significantly decrease development time by quickly identifying areas of improvement and ensuring strict adherence to TWAIN Direct standards. The TWAIN Direct Testing and Certification tools are available immediately through select TWAIN Working Group member companies and independent lab testing and certification is available through Keypoint Intelligence.

We are pleased to be working with TWG to offer this important certification service to our mutual clients.”
The TWAIN Direct Testing and Certification Program is available as an annual subscription service priced at $10,000 (€9,279) per year. TWAIN Working Group Board Members receive a 70% discount, bringing the cost to $3,000 (€2,784) per year, while Associate Members receive a 30% discount, reducing the cost to $7,000 (€6,495) per year.
