What is OMR technology?
Short for optical mark recognition, the technology of
electronically extracting intended data from marked fields, such as checkboxes
and fill-infields, on printed forms. OMR technology scans a printed form and
reads redefined positions and records
where marks are made on the form. This technology is useful for applications in
which large numbers of hand-filled forms need to be processed quickly and with
great accuracy, such as surveys, reply cards, questionnaires and ballots.
A common OMR applicationis the use of "bubble sheets"
for multiple-choice tests used by schools. The student indicates the answer on
the test by filling in the corresponding bubble, and the form is fed through an
optical mark reader (also abbreviated as OMR,
a device that scans the document and reads the data from the marked fields. The
error rate for OMRtechnology is
less than 1%
