Scans are harder to misplace than paper: Even if you’re diligent about sorting and filing your receipts and tax forms, there’s always the chance you’ll inadvertently toss something out during a move or spring cleaning.That’s a lot better than spending an afternoon digging through dusty filing cabinets. Makes documents easier to find: Since portable document scanners use optical character recognition (OCR) technology to turn printed text into searchable text, you can do word searches to find exactly the document you need in seconds.Creating digital copies means you can stay in compliance without drowning in a sea of paper.
