Such files generated this way have an extension called .mdi, and can be read by the Microsoft Office Document Imaging application. First introduced in Office XP, the Microsoft Office Document Imaging application was later deprecated in Office 2010, as most of its features were integrated in several mainstream applications (such as Word), precluding the need for a separate program to handle its capabilities.

The scanning component captures images from a compatible scanning device, just like any other scanning software, and then automatically converts text from these scanned images via OCR. Finally the imaging component enables you to view the scanned document, and even send it to others through e-mail, fax, among other things.
