Digitize, in a way (4)
I believe the answer is:
scan
'digitize in a way' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for scan that I've seen before include "Inspect" , "Glance at quickly rather than thoroughly" , "Analyse a piece of verse for metre" , "Cast an eye over" , "Scrutinise; glance over" .)
