2. What is the digitization?
2
 Digitization is the process of converting
information into a digital format. In this format,
information is organized into discrete units of data
that can be separately addressed. This is
the binary data that computers and many devices
with computing capacity can process.

4. Text and images
4
 Text and images can be digitized similarly:
a scanner captures an image (which may be an image
of text) and converts it to an image file, such as
a bitmap. An optical character recognition (OCR)
program analyzes a text image for light and dark
areas in order to identify each alphabetic letter or
numeric digit, and converts each character into
an ASCII code.

5. Choose an OCR software

6. What is OCR?
6
 OCR (optical character recognition) is the
recognition of printed or written text characters by
a computer. This involves photoscanning of the
text character-by-character, analysis of the
scanned-in image, and then translation of the
character image into character codes, such as
ASCII, commonly used in data processing.

7. What is ASCII?
7
 ASCII (American Standard Code for Information
Interchange) is the most common format for
text files in computers and on the Internet. In an
ASCII file, each alphabetic, numeric, or special
character is represented with a 7-bit binary number
(a string of seven 0s or 1s). 128 possible characters
are defined.
