Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) Scanner System
The OMR scanner system (Opscan3) is for marking multiple-choice examinations or processing a user survey. Answers to a multiple-choice examination or a survey would be marked on pre-printed answer sheets which are fed into the optical scanner for processing. The OMR system reads the answers and records the data into a file in the PC attached to the scanner. This data file can be further processed or analysed with the use of software programs to produce statistical reports.
