  scanner
       
          1. An input device that takes in an optical image and
          digitises it into an electronic image represented as binary
          data.  This can be used to create a computerised version of a
          photo or illustration.
       
          A scanner may be linked to optical character recognition
          software allowing printed documents to be converted to
          electronic text without having to type them in at a keyboard.
