MICR
-
All of above
A
Correct answer
Explanation
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is specifically designed to scan printed text documents and convert them into digital text format that computers can process. OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) only detects marked areas like bubbles on forms, not actual text. MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) reads special magnetic ink characters used primarily on bank checks, not general printed text.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Computer mouse movement speed is measured in 'mickeys' per inch in some technical contexts. A mickey is a unit of measurement representing the minimum amount of movement that can be detected by the mouse sensor. This is a play on words referencing Mickey Mouse.

A
Correct answer
Explanation
In computer mouse technology, a 'mickey' is the unit of measurement for mouse movement speed - it represents the smallest movement the mouse can detect. This is named after Mickey Mouse, which is why 'Chip,' 'Dale,' and 'Pits' (referencing Chip 'n Dale and Rescue Rangers) are jokey distractors.
