form, and act on it.
Voice recognition system is used to operate
mobile phones through voice
command.
For Example: Google Assistant, SIRI (Apple)
Etc.

Concept keyboard
A concept keyboard is a flat board which contains a grid of switches. Each
switch can be programmed to do whatever you want. An overlay image is
placed on top of the grid so that the user can tell what pressing on different
areas of the keyboard (switches) will do.

Example uses of concept keyboards include :

● Piano : The overlay image could be of a piano keyboard. Pressing on


the piano keys will cause the computer to play the note that is
pressed.
● Country Information : The overlay image could be a map of an area
of the world. Pressing on a country would cause the computer to
display information about that country on a monitor.
● Tills in restaurants : The overlay contains a list of all of the meals
that can be purchased. Instead of typing in prices the waiter simply
presses on the appropriate meal name on the keyboard when a meal
is purchased.

Impact printers these Printers use an
Electro-mechanical mechanism. An
impact printer refers to all those printers
whose printing heads touch the paper.
His mechanism uses hammers or pins to
strike against a ribbon and paper to print
the text or image

printers whose printing heads do not
touch paper. A non impact printer forms
characters and image on a piece of paper
without actually striking the paper.

Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages

● They allow remote operation of many devices


● They are relatively inexpensive devices

Disadvantages

● They are additional device in the system that could go wrong


● Because they are usually analogue devices ,computer signals need to
converted using a DAC to enable computer
