Traditionally, the term scanner referred to a radio receiver that moves across a wide range of radio frequencies and allows audiences to listen to any of the frequencies.
Later the term scanner became known as a device that automatically reads a document or bar code into an electronic system for transmission or identification.
Today, the term refers to a device that scans a text and converts it to a digital image.
