The technology used for scanning documents into digital formats is known as optical character recognition (OCR) and document scanners. OCR software converts scanned images of text into machine-readable data. Document scanners capture physical documents and create high-quality digital copies, often equipped with features such as duplex scanning or automatic document feeders. By digitizing paper documents, organizations can improve accessibility, reduce storage needs, and facilitate easier sharing and management of information in a more efficient and streamlined manner.
