OMR refers to the technique of converting a handwritten marks into an ASCII value. The Mark is created by filling a circle or
a box on a pre-printed form .The presence or absence of a Mark in a specific location is then converted into a value such as a
selection in a multi- choicequestion, the selection of one item in a list of several, or even to code a specific numeric or
alphanumeric value, such as a date using six columns of 10 boxes or name with 26 columns etc .

Thus, if a Mark by itself can only generate a binary choice (presence or absence), the combination of several marks arranged
on a form can provide intelligent answers to questions and be used as a fast and accurate replacement to data entry in many
applications. Basically an OMR Reader is only intelligent to accurately give the postion of the marks , interpretation of marks is
an important aspect and more than often known as Template Creation Optical marks recognition is traditionally performed
using Reflective Light Method where a beam of light is reflected on a sheet with marks. (Sekonic Optical Mark Readers , a low
priced Japanese Readers are very special )Special forms are created using Timing Marks and color drop-out (depends what
reading head you uses , Visible or Infra-red) and are usually referred as Scantron or Sekonic Forms from the name of the
vendors that sell these systems. OMR Solutions can assist you in locating a vendor for such a product.
