Informatik Scan vs. Pocket Scanner vs. PyQtGraph vs. Python Comparison Chart

Informatik Scan is a universal user-interactive a scanning software program compatible with TWAIN compliant scanners. The scanned images are displayed and can be saved as a single or multi-page TIFF or PDF (also PDF/A) file or in many other common graphics formats, including JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP. Features include Optical Character Recognition (OCR), auto-incrementing file naming, multi-page functions, redaction (white-out, blackout), border removal, thumbnail display, separator sheets, individual and global rotations, auto-trimming,black border removal, cropping, deskewing, and more. For a complete list of features see the section below. Informatik Scan is a perfect companion to our Infothek Archiver document management software. A separate program is available for scanning documents and automatically naming the output (single page or multi-page) according to a barcode or text on the scanned pages or separator pages. Most barcode symbologies are supported, as well as OCR.

PyQtGraph is a pure-python graphics and GUI library built on PyQt/PySide and NumPy. It is intended for use in mathematics/scientific/engineering applications. Despite being written entirely in python, the library is very fast due to its heavy leverage of NumPy for number crunching and Qt's GraphicsView framework for fast display. PyQtGraph is distributed under the MIT open-source license. Basic 2D plotting in interactive view boxes. Line and scatter plots. Data can be panned/scaled by mouse. Fast drawing for real-time data display and interaction. Displays most data types (int or float; any bit depth; RGB, RGBA, or luminance). Functions for slicing multidimensional images at arbitrary angles (great for MRI data). Rapid update for video display or real-time interaction. Image display with interactive lookup tables and level control. Mesh rendering with isosurface generation. Interactive viewports rotate/zoom with mouse. Basic 3D scenegraph for easier programming.
