An input device is used to enter data or information into the computer for processing, e.g. a keyboard. 

OCR is an input device used to convert handwritten text into machine readable format. It reads the characters with the help of a light source and photoelectric cells. 

The technology is being developed for greater accurate recognition which is also known as Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR).
