skannaamaan

Skannaamaan is a term that refers to the act of scanning. In a digital context, it typically involves using a scanner to convert a physical document, image, or object into a digital format. This digital representation can then be stored, edited, shared, or processed further using computer software. The process of scanning usually involves capturing an image of the item and translating it into a series of digital data points.

There are various types of scanners, each designed for specific purposes. Flatbed scanners are common for documents and photographs, while document scanners are optimized for high-volume paper scanning. 3D scanners, on the other hand, capture the shape and dimensions of three-dimensional objects. The output of a scan is usually an image file in formats like JPEG, PNG, or TIFF, or a document file such as PDF. Optical character recognition (OCR) is often used in conjunction with scanning to convert scanned text into editable and searchable digital text. This capability is particularly useful for digitizing books, archives, and old documents. The technology behind scanning relies on light sensors and image processing to create the digital copy.
