Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Document Scanner: A device or software that converts physical documents into digital images or files, enabling electronic storage, editing, and sharing.
  • Optical Character Recognition (OCR): Technology that converts scanned images of text into editable and searchable digital text.
  • Image Resolution: The detail an image holds, typically measured in dots per inch (DPI); higher resolution results in clearer, more detailed scans.
  • Mobile Scanning Apps: Applications on smartphones or tablets that utilize the device's camera to capture and digitize documents.
  • Auto-Detection & Cropping: Features that automatically identify document edges and crop images to improve scan quality.
  • Cloud Storage Integration: The ability to save scanned documents directly to cloud services like Google Drive or Dropbox for easy access and sharing.
