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.

OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition, and it's software to recognize the actual words in a scanned image. A scanner only copies the image it sees, it can't understand what the characters mean in a text image and that's what OCR s'ware is for. You teach the s'ware what each character represents (if it can't recognize it right away), and then it can be edited in a text editor program, like Notepad or Word.
