![]() Digitized text not only has to be legible to the human eye but also needs to be recognized and processed by software if searchable text is to be created. Scanned pages of books, newspapers, journals, and other textual documents can be presented as images and/or as searchable text. Text digitization focuses primarily on legibility issues. While digitized photographs remain basically as images, digitized text documents need to be further processed and transformed to make the textual content searchable. The complexity of photographic processes and formats also demands a wider range of specifications and more versatile digitization equipment. However, recommendations for resolution and bit depth vary because of the fundamentally different content, and the amount of detail that needs to be captured is greater for photographic materials. For both source types, the output is in the form of digital images, and masters are saved in the TIFF format. The processes for digitizing textual and photographic materials are similar to a certain extent.
