Semantic segmentation sounds like it relates to images, but I can't recall how it would apply to digitizing documents.

I feel like Latent Semantic Analysis could be relevant, but it seems more focused on understanding the meaning of text rather than converting it from hard copies.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think Word2vec is more about text representation rather than digitizing.

I think the best method for digitizing documents is probably Optical Character Recognition, but I'm not entirely sure.
