Phrase | scanner |
Text | The word "scanner," in this podcast, means a machine or device that searches for something, especially by using a video camera: "Put your finger on this scanner, and it will determine whether you are authorized to enter the room." When talking about computers, a "scanner" is a piece of equipment that can create a digital or electronic version of the image or text on a piece of paper: "Please print out the contract, sign it, and then use a scanner to send an image of it back to me." Finally, the verb "to scan" means to read something very quickly, looking for only the most important parts, but not reading every word: "Good students learn how to scan textbooks and quickly find the most important information." |
