INPUT DEVICES - ACCEPTS DATA AND INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE USER OR FROM
ANOTHER COMPUTER SYSTEM

Keyboard Entry- Data is inputted to the


computer through a keyboard.
Direct Entry - A form of input that does not
require data to be keyed by someone sitting at a
keyboard. Direct-entry devices create machine-
readable data on paper, or magnetic media, or
feed it directly into the computer’s CPU.
THREE CATEGORIES OF DIRECT ENTRY DEVICES

input device that can
control the movement
of the pointer (cursor)
to select items on a
display screen.
Examples are mouse,
touch screen, light
pen, and digitizer
tablet.
THREE CATEGORIES OF DIRECT ENTRY DEVICES

Scanning Devices- A
device that can capture or
read a printed copy of
documents or illustrations
and convert it into a digital
format for the computer to
manipulate. Examples are
image scanner and
barcode reader
THREE CATEGORIES OF DIRECT ENTRY DEVICES

Voice- Input Devices- also


known as speech or voice
recognition systems that allow

signals to a computer for
processing, recording, or
carrying out commands.
One of the examples is a
computer microphone which
allow users to record a voice
message and navigate software
through voice command
settings.
