digitization process

Digitization is converting physical items, like paper documents, photographs, or audio recordings, into digital formats that computers can store, process, and share. This involves using devices such as scanners or digital recorders to capture the original content and then saving it in digital files like PDFs, JPEGs, or MP3s. The process enhances accessibility, preservation, and ease of distribution. It’s widely used in areas such as archiving, media production, and business to streamline workflows and ensure information is preserved and easily retrievable in digital form.
