Scanning vs. Digitizing Documents: What Are The Differences?

Enhancing Workflow Automation: Scanning vs. Digitizing Documents

Scanning creates a static digital image of a document, while digitizing turns a document into an editable, searchable file that can be integrated into automated workflows. Modern OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engines used in digitization achieve up to 99.7% accuracy in text extraction1, enabling reliable conversion of paper records into structured, searchable digital data.

1 The 99.7% OCR accuracy benchmark is validated through independent testing on standardized document datasets by third-party accuracy audits. See the FabSoft OCR Accuracy Whitepaper for full methodology and test results.
