scanning
This term describes a process of systematic examination, whether the eye is moving quickly across a page to find a keyword or a machine is capturing digital data. It implies a focused search or a technical conversion rather than a deep, comprehensive reading or analysis.
In a medical or technical context, the word refers to the use of specialized equipment to visualize internal structures. In literary studies, it refers specifically to the rhythmic analysis of poetry, a specialized usage that differs from the general act of glancing over text.
