Are There Virtual Twain Scanners? Sort Like Daemon Tools Virtual Cd [Closed]

I am testing a scanning application and currently I dont have any scanner to plug it in. Is there anyway to have a virtual scanner like Daemon Tools does with Virtual CD Drives?

There's a Sourceforge project with a sample TWAIN implementation, including a virtual scanner. I haven't found anything similar for WIA.

Yes, there is a pretty simple to use application called UniTwain. I am using it and it works really nice for my users. You can download it from

I would like to make people aware of GenDS

According to this web page, GenDS

is a ready-to-build Microsoft C++ 6.0 project that compiles to a generic TWAIN Datasource (DS)

I am in the process of compiling it so I cannot give further advise.
