OMR software is a computer software application that makes OMR possible on a desktop computer by using an Image scanner to process surveys, tests, attendance sheets, checklists, and other plain-paper forms printed on a laser printer.
OMR software is used to capture data from OMR sheets. The use of OMR is not limited to schools or data collection agencies; many businesses and health care agencies use OMR to streamline their data input processes and reduce input error. OMR, OCR, and ICR technologies all provide a means of data collection from paper forms (Paper to Digital).
OMR (optical mark recognition) is a form of automated data input. Marks are made on a specially designed printed paper forms which are then scanned by any scanner in specified format and then read by an OMR reader/software. The data is then sent for processing. One of the most common uses of OMR is in multiple choice question(MCQ) based examinations. Students mark their answers on specially printed sheets using either a pencil or a special marker. The sheets are then collected in and the data read using a sheet feed OMR scanner
Licensing and Maintenance
Generally, Career Sarthi company will charge a one-time price for the purchase of OMR software with a lifetime license. OMR licenses are economical when you consider deployment of evaluation centers at multiple locations. Unlike the OMR scanners, evaluators can process the sheets from any location using the OMR sheet software at reduced prices. The software facilitates cheap and fast multi-location deployment, considering that the OMR scanners need to be physically deployed at each evaluation center, which takes a lot of time and money. OMR software solutions are undoubtedly preferable for conducting examinations on an international scale.
OMR software solutions come with easy maintenance and do not need continuous attention from personnel, which is always needed in the case of the traditional OMR scanners. Besides, machine based solutions are prone to wear and tear and hence have a definite lifespan. Needless to say, software solutions never die, and technical issues can be resolved remotely.
Upon using the software for over a year, advanced users can opt for additional software updates, which can be downloaded from the central server and installed in the computers. Extra training modules and continuous technical support can also be availed by paying a small annual maintenance fee. The process of OMR - Optical mark recognition has totally changed in last 10 years. Earlier expensive OMR sheet reader machines were used as OMR sheet readers.
Now OMR sheet reading has become much simpler and economic. The role of OMR sheet checking machine is eliminated.
Now the OMR sheet reader software is used as OMR sheet checker and OMR form reader. OMR sheet printing can be done using normal laser / inkjet printer or photocopy or offset printing.
Any ADF scanner (Automatic scanning from pocket) can be used for OMR sheet scanning. Any regular flatbed scanner (1-by-1 sheet) can be used as an OMR sheet scanner. OMR software is the main component in the OMR sheet scanning process.
