| Digitization is the fastest, most efficient way to distribute paper-and-ink-based information. It allows for the preservation of important documents, and for images to be immediately accessible by multiple users simultaneously. The result is a highly efficient, low-cost medium for sharing accessible, 508 compliant information. |
| "Scanning" is a term often used in industry to describe a process that falls short of Digitization. Scanning usually results in an "image" product that is similar to having a second copy of the paper source. Digitization goes beyond scanning and includes OCR of the text, correcting the Read Order of tables, Reflowing columns, and adding meta-tags to logos and signatures. This creates an electronic product with uses far beyond that of the paper source. |
