A graphics tablet enables images drawn freehand to be translated directly to the computer screen.

In computing, an input device in which a stylus or cursor is moved, by hand, over a flat surface. The computer can keep track of the position of the stylus, so enabling the operator to input drawings or diagrams into the computer.

A graphics tablet is often used with a form overlaid for users to mark boxes in positions that relate to specific registers in the computer, although developments in handwriting recognition may increase its future versatility.
