 # How to run Dynamic Web TWAIN ActiveX in Microsoft Edge Internet Explorer (IE) mode
 
-> ActiveX support was removed starting in Dynamic Web TWAIN v19. This article is archived for customers running versions earlier than 19. For supported browsers in v19 and later, please migrate to the HTML5 edition.

 Microsoft is <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/ie-mode" target="_blank">retiring Internet Explorer 11</a> on June 15, 2022. To support Dynamic Web TWAIN ActiveX, please configure IE mode in Edge following the steps below.

 # Capture/Image Source
 
 ## Can the Dynamic Web TWAIN SDK automatically rotate upside-down pages during the document scanning process?
 
-Dynamic Web TWAIN does not auto-rotate pages by default, but you can rotate images in code using the API covered in [this example](/_articles/general-usage/image-processing/image-editing.md#example---rotating-images){:target="_blank"}.
+No, the rotation is not automatic, but it can be achieved by leveraging the rotating functionality explained in [this link](/_articles/general-usage/image-processing/image-editing.md#example---rotating-images){:target="_blank"}.
 
-If you have the OCR Add-on (v19.3+), you can call [`DetectPageOrientation()`](/_articles/info/api/Addon_OCR.md#detectpageorientation){:target="_blank"} to detect the page orientation from recognized text and use that result to decide how to rotate.
-
-Some scanners also offer an AutoDeskew/AutoRotate capability that runs on the device. If your scanner supports it, enable that option (see [our de-skew guidance](/_articles/faq/support-image-deskew.md) for scanner-side setup); otherwise, use the rotation API noted above based on your own detection logic.
+If you need to do automatic skew correction on scanned pages, you can refer to [this article](/_articles/faq/support-image-deskew.md) for our automatic de-skewing feature.

+`Camera.showVideo` is a built-in feature to handle camera capturing, prospective adjusting, etc. It supports two available modes: document and picture.
+
+`Camera.play` is a more specific API for starting streaming video from the current camera.
+
+Note that these two APIs cannot be mixed with each other.

-For the [Desktop Service Edition](/_articles/general-usage/initialization.md#desktop-service-edition){:target="_blank"}, end users need the Dynamic Web TWAIN Service installed locally (this was called “Dynamsoft Service” prior to v19.0). They are prompted to install it the first time they open your application.
+For the [Desktop Service Edition](/_articles/general-usage/initialization.md#desktop-service-edition){:target="_blank"}, the Dynamic Web TWAIN Service (also called "Dynamsoft Service") needs to be installed on end-user machines. By default end-users will be prompted to install Dynamic Web TWAIN Service when they access your application for the first time.
 
-When you upgrade Dynamic Web TWAIN, plan to reinstall the service on client machines if required. See [Update Dynamic Web TWAIN Service on the Client-side](/_articles/indepth/development/upgrade.md#update-dynamsoft-service-on-the-client-side){:target="_blank"} for details.
+When you upgrade Dynamic Web TWAIN, you may also need a reinstallation of Dynamic Web TWAIN Service on the client-side. For more information, please refer to [Update Dynamic Web TWAIN Service on the Client-side](/_articles/indepth/development/upgrade.md#update-dynamsoft-service-on-the-client-side){:target="_blank"}.
 
-If you prefer zero client-side installation, enable Remote Scan. It routes scanning through a host machine’s service, so the browser client installs nothing. Learn how to enable it [here](/_articles/faq/how-to-enable-remote-scan.md){:target="_blank"}.
+If you do not want to install anything, there is an option.
+
+You can enable Remote Scan, which scans documents from remote scanners connected to host machines. No installation is required on the client machine. Please check [here](/_articles/faq/how-to-enable-remote-scan.md){:target="_blank"} for more information on how remote scan works and how to enable it.

 ### Cause
 
-This usually means the client cannot reach the server.
+The problem may occur when a connection with the server is not available.
 
 ### Resolution
 
-- Verify the HTTP port in your code matches the server’s listening port. Set it with [`HTTPPort`](/_articles/info/api/WebTwain_IO.md#httpport).
-- Confirm the server address is reachable (ping it from a client machine). Use either the machine name or IP with `HTTPUpload`.

+
+Please note that the Camera module requires a secure connection as only a secure site can make use of the camera on mobile devices. If you use this feature, you need to enable HTTPS on the server. For how to enable HTTPS, please check out the manual of your webserver.
