Is it possible to redirect the user to launch the scanner application?

Question

I am writing an application to display downloaded documents with python3-django-1.8.1. We also want to allow the user to scan the document.

As you know, javascript has a print dialog. A.

window.print()

• Is there browser support for scanning a document?

• Is it possible to run a scanner application on a client machine using javascript / python? as:

  • Windows Fax and Scan on Windows computers.
  • "Simple scan" on linux, etc. OR
  • Regardless of the default scanner application for the corresponding os client.

• Any third-party python plugin for applications / js allows you to scan a document?
