About Scanner for Remote Desktop
Use local scanners in remote Windows session.
Overview Scanner for Remote Desktop is a software that provides a convenient way to scan documents within a remote desktop session. It allows secure redirecting of image scanners over any remote display protocol to individual remote desktop session without any headache. How it works The solution consists of the Workstation and Server parts. The Workstation part should be installed on the local side, like PC, thin client or tablet.

Virtual image scanner is actually connected to the locally plugged hardware scanner. So you can access your hardware scanner from any remotely hosted image scanning application.

As for WIA, Scanner for Remote Desktop is the only solution allowing to perform document scanning for WIA-based applications (Windows to Windows configuration only). Moreover, there is a possibility to create virtual ISIS scanner if your software requires this. It will be mapped to your local TWAIN scanner (or SANE in case of Linux).

So you don't need to worry that somebody else will get access to sensitive data. Each user can see only own scanners within the remote session. Its not needed to scroll through the list of devices of other users to find your scanner. Scanner for Remote Desktop scans directly from the hardware scanner without establishing shared folders or...
