can client side web technolgy be used to scan an image?

Question

I am working on a website. Users need to scan documents often. Right now they use some system application to scan and save images in a directory and later upload them. I am supposed to make process more cohesive. I am working with django, python and jquery. How to use scanner and scan an image at client side?

Have a look here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4901584/is-it-possible-to-have-flash-access-a-generic-twain-scanner and here http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=access+scanner+from+browser — mplungjan, Jun 27 '11 at 08:14

This will be possible with HTML Media Capture, but is currently experimental at best.
