NAPS2 is a suite of document scanning software consisting of a desktop application, a command-line interface tool, and a networked scanner server. It serves as an interface for capturing images from scanners via TWAIN and WIA drivers, organizing those captures into digital documents, and exporting them to various file formats.
The project distinguishes itself by providing a networked scanner server that shares local hardware across a network for remote image capture. It also includes a command-line tool for automating document capture and image processing workflows through scripts and terminal commands.
The software covers broad functional areas including optical character recognition for converting scanned images into searchable text and batch document scanning for high-volume tasks. Additional capabilities include page editing and enhancement, such as rotating images, adjusting contrast, and rearranging page sequences.
