An OCR device scans printed text, recognises the characters, and converts them into a machine-readable code for direct input to the computer.
KDEM is a specific OCR-based system.
MICR is only for magnetic ink (like bank cheques).
A laser scanner is used for barcodes, not text.

Kurzweil Data Entry Machine is itself a OCR, to make our answer more specific device, so we choose KDEM.

Kurzweil Data Entry Machine (KDEM) is itself a OCR. So answer can be option A too. Please correct me.

@Garima,

Yeah, it's an OCR but we'll go for specific one.

OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition not Reader.
