## What it is
scanservjs is a self-hosted web UI frontend for SANE-compatible scanners, letting you share one or more scanners over a network from a Linux host or Docker container. It supports cropping, ADF/flatbed selection, multipage scanning with double-sided collation, and output to TIF, JPG, PNG, PDF, or TXT via Tesseract OCR.

## Use cases
- share a SANE scanner over the network via a browser
- scan documents to PDF or searchable text from a web UI
- use an old scanner without vendor drivers or bloated software
- trigger scans remotely when scanner buttons are broken
- run a scanner server in Docker on a NAS or Raspberry Pi
- scan double-sided multipage documents with collation

## When to choose
- you have a SANE-compatible scanner on a Linux host or Docker-capable device
- you want browser-based scanning without vendor software
- you need OCR output or multipage/duplex scanning
- you want to share one scanner among multiple users on a network

## When to avoid
- your scanner is not SANE-compatible or you are on Windows/macOS without a Linux host or VM
- you need a native desktop scanning application
- you require TWAIN or WIA driver support
