Skannad

Skannad is a term with no single, widely recognized definition. It appears in various online and professional contexts as a coined word or an informal label, with spellings such as skannad or Skannad; there is no standard capitalization or meaning.

In digital archiving, skannad is sometimes used to describe items that have been scanned and processed, typically including OCR and metadata extraction. In software development and project documentation, the term may label files that have passed through a scanning pipeline, distinguishing them from native digital originals. In linguistic or corpus contexts, skannad can be used as a constructed example word to discuss issues related to digitization quality and data labeling.

Origin and notes: The form seems to combine the English verb "scan" with an affix that resembles endings in various European languages; there is no established etymology. Because the term is not widely established, writers should define its meaning when used to avoid ambiguity.
