What is OMR?

Optical Mark Recognition, also called Mark Reading (“mark sensing”). Through the technologie of OMR a simply and reasonable methode of entering data by document into a computer system is enable. Optical Marc Reading (OMR) is one of the fast and safest method for dataentry into a host until today. 

How does it work?

A pen or pencil mark is made in pre-definied positions at the documet to indicate each selected response (for example: answers to a survey question or an absent pupil in a school register).
The complete forms are scanned by the Optical Mark Reader which detects the presence of a mark by measuring reflectet light levels. The reader interprets this pattern marks and spaces into a data record and transmits it to your computer for storage, analysis and reporting.

What are the main advantages of OMR-Technologie?

  • simplicity: “Tick box answers” are marked with a by pen or pencil
  • functionality: the OMR-Reader scans the form, detect the presence of marks and passes inormation to the computer
  • speed: OMR-Readers can read up to 9,000 forms DIN A4 per hour
  • flexibilty: OMR-readers tests for plausibilities and transmit the processed information to the computer with up to 38,400 Baud.
  • The interpretation based on a simple “Yes/No” answer.

When to use OMR-readers?

  • on every range of application where other entering possibilities are not present
  • if a large volume of data has to be collected and processed within a short period of time
  • if personal who has to collect the data are not regular computer users
  • if information mainly comprises the selection of categories or “Tick box answers” to multiple choice questions

Where the OMR-readers works?

  • examination on schools, colleges and universities
  • puplic opinion polls of research institutes
  • judgements or aptitude tests
  • counting of votes
  • staff opinion surveys

What is possible?

  • Barcode
  • Barcode cross
  • Barcode backsides
  • OCR
  • Double dokument recognition
  • Printer inside
  • Sorter two pockets

What kind of equipment do I need?

  •   a computer with serial interface
  •   the appropriate software for your application
  •   specially designed forms
