Free scanning software software for mac

Scan Again is a very useful tool if you have an older or used scanner that you want to use, and the manufacturer doesn’t have drivers for your operating system, one solution is to use the open-source SANE routines.

These were originally developed for Linux, but work on other operating systems, including Mac OS X.

I had this problem with an HP scanner I picked up at a rummage sale, and was able to get it to work using SANE. The trouble was that the SANE utilities are all command-line, and I got tired of typing.

I decided to make a GUI shell to interface with the command-line utilities, and I did this using RealBasic .

The resulting program runs the command-line utilities for you. It searches for scanners, putting the results into a pop-up at the top of the window ( see screen shot ).

It then interrogates the selected scanner for available options, and populates the spinners and pop-ups with the options available for the given scanner.

AirPort Radar is a convenient and free tool for quickly scanning the area for AirPort and other wireless networks.
Main features:
- Signal Strength at a Glance: Visual signal meters tell you the strength of the AirPort signal for an easy-to-read radar screen.
- Sortable Network List: Click on a category to sort the list of networks by that category. Click on the radio waves symbol to sort by signal strength.
- Connect to Open Networks: By simply clicking on the name you can connect to any network that is not password protected.
- Remember Lost Networks: When a network falls "below radar" it wont disappear from your radar screen right away. This is particularly useful when a network is right on the threshold - with AirPort Radar it wont jump on and off the radar screen, it will just turn grey temporarily while it is too weak to connect to. You can choose how many scans a lost network stays on-screen with the "Scan Memory" setting on the back side of the widget.
- Auto-Resizing for Various List Lengths: The AirPort Radar widget will automatically resize itself to accomodate longer or shorter lists of wireless networks.
System requirements:
- An AirPort card, a MacWireless 11g PC card or 11g PCI card.

ScanCalc is a handy utility for determining the size of scanned images. It works similar to the "New Document" dialog in Adobe Photoshop. You specify the height and width of the original and the percent of enlargement/reduction and ScanCalc will tell you the disk space needed for the scan.
This can be helpful if youre having a service bureau scan some slides for you and you need to know how many removable cartridges to send. Its also useful if youre concerned about image size and want to see the difference between scanning an image at 300 DPI versus 400 DPI.
ScanCalc also functions as a proportional wheel: enter in a new height or width and ScanCalc will show you the percentage of enlargement/reduction. ScanCalc works with several measurement systems, including inches, points, and metric.
Main features:
- Simple
- Handy log for recording multiple measurements
- Can memorize frequently used picture sizes.
Enhancements:
- Logging and favorite sizes were added.
