∙ 10y agoThe device is usually called a scanner. It can be a camera or a device that passes over the printed matter from one end to the other detecting light and dark areas converting it to a computerized image. Scanners can be stand alone devices where you place printed matter on a surface and the device scans the page into the computer; they can be handheld devices that you manually move across the page; or they can be part of a multifunction printer (MFP) that may function as a printer, copier, scanner and fax machine. Some scanners include a sheet feeder so that multiple sheets can be automatically processed at once. Scanners may produce only black and white images or they may be able to scan and generate color images of the printed matter.
Normally, the scanned image of text is just a picture/image file and a computer program is used to analyze the image and convert it to a text file that can be used by word processors. The process is called Optical Character Recognition (OCR). OCR needs to recognize many character styles (fonts) and sizes as well as flaws and smudges in the pages being processed. Although much more sophisticated than in the past, the process is still not flawless and the generated text needs to manually checked for errors.
