In computing, a scanner is a device that analyzes images, printed text, or handwriting and converts it to a digital image. So the ability to edit is not a function of the scanner.
By far no scanners are designed to edit the text, later help in printing the document as well. There is no realistic scanner which can be used for editing scanned documents and printing it on a same machine. This is made possible using OCR program, PDF editing software, and software for cleanup of edited documents, portable remote keyboard and a screen installed with microprocessor.
Product description:
Generally, when a document is scanned, computer converts the document into portable document format (PDF) format, which is difficult to edit by design. This file type is created to provide a secure method of file transfer. So the editing process becomes more complicated.
Here is a portable scanner cum printer which is basically designed to enable text and image editing of the scanned documents and printing them. Additionally, the scanner enables the direct scanning of mails and dropping the scanned documents back to inbox through Wi-Fi and can also be used to fax the document.
Basic idea:
Scanning the document is only one part of the process. For the scanned image or text to be useful, it must be transferred to a computer. So the scanner will be connected with a screen with a pre-installed microprocessor in it. Software’s required for editing of the text like OCR software, PDF editing software, and software for cleanup of edited documents will be installed in the microprocessor.
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program:
The OCR program reads the scanned document, and matches the elements with an internal library of characters, letters, numbers, spaces, etc. Once the application has matched the contents of the scanned document to elements in the library, the application produces an editable document, usually in Microsoft Word, or some other editable format such as a text file, a program like adobe professional, which will allow editing in the PDF.The OCR used will produce images of text with good resolution.
Cleanup software:
Usually conversion process will not be smooth as expected due to programs vary in their matching ability. Suitable software is used to smoothen up before it is edited.
PDF editing software:
This software enables the editing of scanned PDF document.
This product is also a portable printer. Extra screen is not required because screen is already incorporated in it.
