 Remark
Classic OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) software
The Remark Classic OMR®
software scans and processes data from tests, assessments, surveys
and other forms. The software is combined with an OMR (Optical
Mark Recognition) reader to recognize filled-in marks on
forms (“fill in the bubble” forms), which automates
the data collection process. This software gives you the great data
collection, test grading, and survey analysis features of Remark
Office OMR, but works with traditional OMR readers and pre-printed
forms from Pearson Assessments (formerly NCS), Chatsworth Data,
Sekonic, Scantron and Apperson Print Management. Are you already
using Remark Classic OMR and thinking about upgrading? See what's
new in version 3.
Remark Classic OMR Overview
Defining Your Forms
Remark Classic OMR is very flexible in that it can work with most
any form that works with a traditional OMR machine. Remark Classic
OMR uses a template for each form type that is to be recognized.
The template holds the information that allows the software to recognize
the areas of data on the form and produce output. Remark Classic
OMR works with many standard forms that are in use today. For those
forms, pre-defined templates are included in the software. You can
also create or purchase your own OMR forms independently of Remark
Classic OMR, and then train the software to read them. Forms created
using design packages such as Magenta™ from DataBlocks can
also be used with the software. Remark Classic OMR comes with a
Template Editor for this process. Training is a simple procedure
where you create a template for a form by defining the areas on
the form containing data to be processed. You then fill in some
information about each of these areas (this defines what each completed
mark should translate into) and through this process the software
“learns” how to process your form
Reading Forms
The Remark Classic OMR software works with
a supported OMR reader to read and process your forms. Remark Classic
OMR recognizes data from OMR fields (bubble fields). For Pearson
Assessment and Sekonic scanners, the software also supports the
optional barcode reader and the transport printer. Built in exception
handling easily locates and allows you to correct or verify any
erroneously marked forms (i.e. a person fills in two marks for a
question, or fails to answer a question).
Data Export
Once your forms have been read and processed,
the software can save the data to one of over 35 different output
formats for use with virtually any analysis package (such as SPSS,
dBase, Access, Excel or ASCII). Remark Classic OMR can even save
your data to an ODBC compatible database. Or, save your data in
Remark Classic OMR's own format and take advantage of the software's
built in analytical tools.
Data Analysis with Remark Quick StatsŪ
Remark Classic OMR includes the Remark Quick
Stats application, which provides powerful test grading and survey
analysis functions with the click of a button. If you administer
tests, the software can automatically grade them. You can specify
an answer key, grade scale, map questions to learning objectives,
set benchmark values and more using the Grade Wizard. Then the software
can grade the test and produce reports representing the students'
performance, item analysis, frequency distribution, student scores
and other data. Remark Quick Stats also produces a grade report
for each student which can be printed and handed back. For survey
applications, Remark Quick Stats can tabulate your survey and then
run reports such as an item analysis, item statistics or crosstabs
to view your results.
