Do you know a solution to access scanner with browser with angular?

Hi Douglas,

AFAIK that's currently impossible to do. You might be able to do this in an extension. Perhaps you can find an active-x or java plugin that makes it possible, however, yuck! 
A possible way forward is web-usb. However, I don't think there is an available driver for any scanners yet.
What you can do is write a desktop-app that does the actual scanning, but is driven by websockets rather as an UI. Then connect your web-app to this locally installed desktop-app.
If you want to write that app using nodejs, have a look at node-sane

Regards
Sander
