A hospital uses a device to capture a patient's handwritten signature on a form directly into a computer system. Which input device is most appropriate for this task?

Q: How do I try a free CIE Computer Science question?

Just tap any of the four options on this page — no signup, no card, nothing to install. You'll see the correct answer and a full mark-scheme-style explanation within a second. Each visit shows a fresh randomly-picked question from the live CIE IGCSE Computer Science bank, so you can keep refreshing to try different ones before deciding whether to create a free account for daily access.

Q: Is Kramizo really free for CIE Computer Science students?

Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, across any board and any subject, with no card required and no trial countdown. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds analytics, but the free plan is genuinely free forever. We make money from the small percentage of students who choose to upgrade — not from selling data or ads.

Q: Are the Computer Science questions aligned to the CIE IGCSE syllabus?

Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Computer Science syllabus and reviewed for accuracy before being added to the bank. We match the command words (state, describe, explain, evaluate), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'll see on real CIE past papers. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes so students learn exactly what marks are being awarded for.

Question

A hospital uses a device to capture a patient's handwritten signature on a form directly into a computer system. Which input device is most appropriate for this task?

Accepted Answer

Graphics tablet with stylus — A graphics tablet with stylus captures the exact movement, pressure, and path of handwriting in real time as digital coordinate data, making it the most appropriate device for capturing a live handwritten signature. OCR converts printed or handwritten text into editable characters but cannot capture the dynamic signature stroke data. A flatbed scanner can digitise a pre-existing signature image but cannot capture a live signature. A digital camera captures static images and is not designed for signature input.
