manual input
Typed by hand
Manual input is data or commands entered by a person rather than generated automatically by a machine or software.
The term appears in computing and data processing contexts where human intervention is distinguished from automated processes: The system requires manual input of customer addresses.
Manual input is slower but allows human judgment and correction.
