Keyboard

• a panel of keys that operate a computer or typewriter.


Mouse

• a small handheld device that is dragged across a flat surface to move


the cursor on a computer screen, typically having buttons that are
pressed to control functions.
Joy Stick

• a lever that can be moved in several directions to control the movement


of an image on a computer or similar display screen.
Light Pen

• a handheld photosensitive device resembling a pen, held to the display


screen of a computer terminal for passing information to the computer.
TrackBall

• a small ball that is set in a holder and can be rotated by hand to move a cursor
on a computer screen.
Scanner

• a device that scans documents and converts them into digital data.
• a device for examining, reading, or monitoring something.
Graphic Tablet

• an input device consisting of a flat, pressure-sensitive pad which the


user draws on or points at with a special stylus, to guide a pointer
displayed on the screen.
Microphone

• A microphone is a device that captures audio by converting sound


waves into an electrical signal. This signal can be amplified as an
analog signal or may be converted to a digital signal, which can be
processed by a computer or other digital audio device.
Magnetic Ink Card Reader (MICR)

• is a technology used to verify the legitimacy or originality of paper documents,


especially checks. Special ink, which is sensitive to magnetic fields, is used in the
printing of certain characters on the original documents.
Optical Character Reader (OCR)

•  is the electronic or mechanical conversion of images of typed,


handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text, whether from a
scanned document, a photo of a document, a scene-photo (for example
the text on signs and billboards in a landscape photo)
Barcode Reader

• is an optical scanner that can read printed barcodes, decode the data


contained in the barcode and send the data to a computer. Like a
flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens and a light sensor
translating for optical impulses into electrical signals.
Optical Mark Reading (OMR)

• is a method of entering data into a computer system. Optical Mark


Readers reads pencil or pen marks made in pre-defined positions on
paper forms as responses to questions or tick list prompts

2.Printer
3.Headphones
4.Computer Speakers
5.Projector
6.GPS
7.Sound Card
8.Video Card
9.Braille Reader
10.Speech-Generating Device
Monitor

• is an output device that displays information in pictorial form.


A monitor usually comprises the visual display, circuitry, casing, and
power supply. ... Older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT).
Headphones

•  Sometimes referred to as earphones, headphones are a hardware


output device that either plug into a computer line out or
speakers. Headphones allow you to listen to audio or watch a movie
without disturbing people around you.
Computer Speaker

• is an output hardware device that connects to a computer to generate


sound. The signal used to produce the sound that comes from
a computer speaker is created by the computer's sound card.
Projector

• is an optical device that projects an image (or moving images) onto a


surface, commonly a projection screen. Most projectors create an
image by shining a light through a small transparent lens, but some
newer types of projectors can project the image directly, by using
lasers.
Global Positioning System (GPS)

• has been developed in order to allow accurate determination of


geographical locations by military and civil users. It is based on the use
of satellites in Earth orbit that transmit information which allow to
measure the distance between the satellites and the user.
Sound Card, Audio Card

• is an internal expansion card that provides input and output of audio


signals to and from a computer under control of computer programs.
The term sound card is also applied to external audio interfaces used
for professional audio applications.
Video Card

• (also called a graphics card, display card, graphics adapter,


or display adapter) is an expansion card which generates a feed of
output images to a display device (such as a computer monitor).
Braille Reader

• are devices that people connect to computers or mobile devices.


Another name for these readers is refreshable Braille displays. These
displays allow people with blindness to read websites and digital
documents
Speech-Generating Device

• also known as voice output communication aids, are electronic


augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems used to
supplement or replace speech or writing for individuals with
severe speech impairments, enabling them to verbally communicate.
OUTPUT/INPUT DEVICES

• Touch Screen.
• Modems.
• Network cards.
• Audio Cards / Sound Card.
• Headsets (Headset consists of Speakers and Microphone.
• Speaker act Output Device and Microphone act as Input device.
• Facsimile (FAX) (It has scanner to scan the document and also have printer to
Print the document
Touch Screen

• is both an input and output device and normally layered on the top of an
electronic visual display of an information processing system. ...
Touchscreens are common in devices such as game consoles,
personal computers, electronic voting machines, and point-of-sale
(POS) systems
Modem

• a portmanteau of "modulator-demodulator" – is a hardware device that


converts data from a digital format, intended for communication directly
between devices with specialized wiring, into one suitable for a
transmission medium such as telephone lines or radio.
Network Cards

• is a hardware component without which a computer cannot be


connected over a network. It is a circuit board installed in
a computer that provides a dedicated network connection to
the computer. It is also called network interface controller, network
adapter or LAN adapter.
Audio Card/ Sound Card

• is an expansion card or IC for producing sound on a computer that can


be heard through speakers or headphones. Although the computer
doesn't need a sound card, it's included on every machine as either in
an expansion slot (shown below) or built into the motherboard (onboard)
Headset

• a set of headphones, typically with a microphone attached, used


especially in telephone and radio communication.
Speakers

•  are one of the most common output devices used with computer


systems. ... Speakers are transducers that convert electromagnetic
waves into sound waves. The speakers receive audio input from
a device such as a computer or an audio receiver. This input may be
either in analog or digital form.
Facsimile

• commonly referred to as a FAX, is the transmission and reproduction of


documents through telephone and communication links. The fax
machine is designed to scan printed textual and graphic material and
then transmit the information through the telephone network to similar
