nonelectronically
By analog means
Nonelectronically describes doing something without the use of electronic devices or digital technology.
It typically appears in contexts where an electronic method exists but is being bypassed: You can submit your application nonelectronically by mailing the paper form.
The word often implies a more traditional or manual approach to a task that could otherwise be done with computers, phones, or other electronic equipment.
