Key puncher - Key puncher (English spelling)

Japanese: キーパンチャー - きーぱんちゃー(英語表記)key puncher
Key puncher - Key puncher (English spelling)

A person who punches data into punched cards, or the occupation of that person. As the medium for inputting information into computers has changed from punched cards to magnetic tape and floppy disks, and data is now entered directly from online terminals, and character readers are often used to enter large amounts of data, the number of keypunchers has dropped dramatically.

Japanese:

穿孔(せんこう)カードにデータをパンチする穿孔作業をする人、またその職業をいう。コンピュータへの情報の入力媒体が穿孔カードから磁気テープやフロッピーディスクにかわり、オンライン端末から直接データを入力するケースや大量のデータ入力に文字読取り装置などが使われることが多くなったため、キーパンチャーの数は激減した。
