OMR (optical mark recognition) is the
technology of electronically extracting intended data from
marked fields, such as checkboxes and fill-in fields, on printed
forms. OMR technology scans a printed form and reads predefined
positions and records where marks are made on the form.
OMR Application
Optical forms technology is useful for applications in which
large numbers of hand-filled forms need to be processed quickly
and with great accuracy, such as examination forms, surveys,
reply cards, questionnaires and ballots. A common OMR
application is the use of multiple choice test sheets used by
schools. The student indicates the answer on the test by filling
in the corresponding field, and the form is fed through an
optical mark reader, a device that scans the document and reads
the data from the marked fields. The error rate for OMR forms
Reading using OMRİ Software is 0%.
