The input device is an optical scanner, optical character recognition is an application performed over the scanned image.
The purpose of optical character recognition is to convert an image of characters in a page of text into ASCII characters (as though you had typed them in on a word processor). This allows the contents of the scanned page to be edited.

Yes, OCR or Optical Character Recognition is an input device.
No. An OCR is a scanner combined with a recognition program. A touch screen is a monitor combined with a pointing device.
An optical reader is a device that uses light to read data, such as text or images, from a physical medium (like paper or a barcode). It works by scanning the surface and converting the visual information into digital data that can be processed by a computer or other digital device. Examples include barcode scanners, document scanners, and optical character recognition (OCR) software.
