Skannoló

Skannoló is a term that generally refers to the act of scanning or the process of taking a digital image of a physical document or object. In its most common application, skannoló describes the use of a scanner, a hardware device, to convert a paper document into a digital file. This digital file can then be stored, edited, transmitted, or printed. Scanners come in various forms, including flatbed scanners, document feeders, and even portable handheld devices.

The process of skannoló involves placing the item to be scanned onto the scanner's glass surface or into its feed mechanism. The scanner then illuminates the item and captures the reflected light, converting it into a digital signal. This signal is processed by the scanner's software, which then generates an image file in a chosen format, such as JPEG, PNG, or PDF. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is often used in conjunction with skannoló to convert scanned images of text into editable and searchable text data.

Beyond document scanning, the concept of skannoló can extend to other forms of digital capture. For example, 3D scanners perform skannoló of physical objects to create digital three-dimensional models. In some contexts, particularly in technical or scientific fields, skannoló might also refer to non-visual scanning technologies like radar or sonar, which use waves to gather information about an environment or object. However, the most prevalent understanding of skannoló relates to the conversion of visual information into a digital format.
