Best Answer

The page of text is first scanned and then an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software program is used to convert the scanned text file into a machine-encoded text file that the user can edit and make changes to. So the device is a scanner, usually a flat-bed scanner, or a hand-held scanner, or a printer that has an inbuilt scanner.

It doesn't work that way. Those are separate steps.* The input device is the scanner, but that one only gets the image of the page, as an image.

* The conversion to an editable format is done by OCR software.
