Other Input Devices
• What is voice input?Entering data by speaking into a microphoneVoice recognition or speech recognition is the
computer’s capability to distinguish spoken words
Other Input Devices• What is audio input?Entering sounds into a computer - speech,
music, and sound effectsMIDI - standard defining how digital musical
devices represent sound electronically
PDAs, Tablet PCs, and Smart Phones
• What is a Tablet PC?
Mobile computer that includes handwriting recognition software
Primary input device is a pressure-sensitive digital pen
Other Input Devices• What is a digital camera?
Allows you to take digital pictures
Images viewable immediately on camera Download to
computer Post pictures
to Web
Other Input Devices
• What is resolution? Sharpness and clarity of image The higher the resolution, the better the
image quality, but the more expensive the camera
Pixel (picture element) is single point in electronic image Greater the number of pixels, the
better the image quality
Other Input Devices
• What is video input?
Process of storing full-motion images on a computer’s storage medium
Digital video (DV) camera records video as digital signals
Other Input Devices• What is a PC video camera and a Web cam?
PC video camera—DV camera used to capture video and still images, and to make video telephone calls on Internet Also called PC camera
Web cam—video camera that displays its output on a Web page
Other Input Devices• What is video conferencing? Two or more geographically separated
people who use network on Internet to transmit audio and video data
Other Input Devices• What is a scanner? Light-sensing device
that reads printed text and graphics Used for image
processing, converting paper documents into electronic images
Other Input Devices• What is an optical reader?
Optical character recognition (OCR) reads characters in OCR font
Optical mark recognition (OMR) reads hand-drawn pencil marks, such as small circles
Bar code reader
Device that uses light source to read characters, marks, and codes and then converts them into digital data
Other Input Devices
• What is an RFID reader? Reads information on
the tag via radio waves Can be handheld
devices or mounted in a stationary object
Other Input Devices
• What is a magnetic stripe card reader?
Reads the magnetic stripe on the back of a credit card
Exposure to a magnetic field can erase the contents of a card’s magnetic stripe
What is a magnetic-ink character recognition (MICR) reader?
Other Input Devices
Can read text printed with magnetized ink Banking industry almost exclusively uses
MICR for check processing
Other Input Devices• What is a point of sale (POS) terminal?
Records purchases, processes credit or debit cards, and updates inventory
Other Input Devices• What is an automated teller machine (ATM)?
Self-service banking machine that connects to a host computer through a network
Other Input Devices
• What is biometrics?
