A scanner is used to input paper documents or photos into the computer. They are typically "scanned" as images (like pictures) and stored in TIFF, GIF, or JPG format, and can also be scanned into the Portable Document Format (PDF), or converted to text using Optical Character Recognition (OCR).

There are hand held scanners on the market that can be used to scan documents. These are also called portable scanners and they are available at stores such as Tiger Direct and Best Buy. These range in price depending on the quality of the scanner.
