      Kooka is a raster image scan program for KDE 3

    In KDE 4 it is replaced by a built-in scanning utility and by Skanlite. A KDE 4 version of Kooka is still being developed.

    Kooka is an intuitive, easy to use open source GNU/Linux scan program. It is the scan application of choice for the KDE project and thus it is official part of the KDE Graphics Package.
