Yes
Optical Character Recognition, also known as OCR, is typically associated with scanners.
Yes it is. It's a device that reads text, numbers and other characters - and displays them on a computer's screen.
Input.
Yes, OCR or Optical Character Recognition is an input device.
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.

If it's normal printed text, then it's "Optical character recognition" OCR.If it was printed with special ink, like bank cheques then it's "Magnetic ink character recognition" MICR.
OCR (optical character recognition) is a function of a scanner system for a computer used to take paper documents (or what have you) with writing on them and convert it to a format that a PC can read and edit. This, because it's a function of a scanner, makes it an "input" device. Hope that helps!
An OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) is a scanner that reads the reflection of light from a specially designed design.
It scans and input data into a PC. (Input device)

No, it is an input device as it reads (and does not write)
A scanner is a computer input device for receiving images from printed material so a computer can use or store them. However, the computer cannot directly understand words contained in such images. That takes software to convert them in a process known as optical character recognition.
