Hello,

Do you know such an extension that provides easy document scanning in Firefox? We are building a web site and we want visitors to be able to upload scanned documents to it. The normal procedure for that is:

  1. Scan the document via Gimp, Photoshop or some other scanning software.
  2. Save the file.
  3. Navigate to the upload web page.
  4. Find some sort of HTML input type file on that page.
  5. Browse and find the saved file.
  6. Submit the form.

I want an extension or plugin that automatize that process and do everything with 1 click - scan the document with some default settings (for example "grayscale, 300 dpi") creates temporary file, fills the page input field and deletes the temporary file after upload.

I tried lots of googling but the term scan in combination with everything web-related gives zillions of virus, malware and port scanners...
