Scanning and indexing
Scanning refers to the process of converting physical documents or images into digital form using a device called a scanner. Indexing involves organizing and tagging these digital files with relevant keywords or categories, making retrieval efficient. In essence, scanning captures the document's content electronically, while indexing ensures that these files can be easily located and accessed later. Together, they streamline document management, enhance searchability, and improve workflow, especially in environments handling large volumes of information.
