inputting
Feeding data in
Inputting is entering data or information into a system, typically a computer: She spent the afternoon inputting customer records.
The word emphasizes the ongoing process of data entry rather than the completed action.
Input as a verb is more common than inputting, which sounds slightly awkward to some speakers.
