digital scanning
Computerized document capture
Digital scanning is the process of converting physical documents, images, or objects into digital format using a scanner or similar device.
The scanner captures visual information and translates it into data a computer can store and manipulate.
I spent the afternoon digital scanning old family photos.
The term also applies to electronic searches through digital databases or systems.
