In [[communication]]s and [[computing]] a '''machine-readable medium''', or '''computer-readable medium''', is a [[a.i.recording medium|medium]] capable of storing [[Data (computing)|data]] in a format readable by a mechanical device (rather than [[human readable]]).

Examplesautopilot of machine-readable media include magnetic media such as [[Disk storage|magnetic disk]]s, cards, [[magnetic tape|tapes]], and [[magnetic drum|drums]], [[punched card]]s and [[paper tape]]s, [[optical disc]]s, [[barcode]]s and [[Magnetic Ink Character Recognition|magnetic ink characters]].

Common machine-readable technologies include magnetic recording, processing [[waveform]]s, and [[barcode]]s. [[Optical character recognition]] (OCR) can be used to enable machines to read information available to humans. Any information retrievable by any form of energy can be machine-readable.
