Software and hardware solutions for scanning and processing Optical Mark Recognition or OMR scanning is a requisite process widely in use across many industries, institutions, and firms in the public as well as the private sector. Before the software based solution was made available, the market saw overwhelming demand for the scanners, which were majorly used by large educational bodies to conduct aptitude tests based on MCQ (multiple choice questions) and to evaluate their knowledge and identify weaknesses by mode of scoring, ranking, and merit lists. Scanners were also put to use by IT firms and corporations for processing OMR forms and sheets they use for quality control and administrative businesses processes.
The OMR scanning software comes with many advantages and as a convenient replacement to the old OMR scanners. First point to note – priced at just about 10% of the cost of scanners and with no maintenance cost associated, OMR scanning is significantly cost-efficient with the software solution. Needless to say, software solutions are immortal and any sort of maintenance or upgrade can be done from remote server locations. Additional costs incurred otherwise due to limitations of paper quality and personnel assistance are effectively curbed.
OMR software solutions can be deployed at multiple locations with ease, and you simply need to pay a small amount to purchase the licenses. Scanning and evaluation are two different modules. OMR test sheets collected from the candidates can be scanned from multiple locations and the collected raw data sent a central server location for analytical processing and evaluations. This facilitates convenient conduction of international exams and greatly enhances the speed of processing of results and merit lists.
Addmen OMR software solutions used to scan OMR sheets and forms come with built-in aligner modules that auto-corrects skewed images and tilted OMR scans. Need for rescanning almost never arises, and all scans are properly read, ensuring seamless collection of bulk data. Processing the results and generating reports are a lot quicker with the SQL based software solutions, and the results can be exported into formats for interpretation and evaluations.
OMR Scanning machines cost around Rs. 200,000 for a well-configured model. Also, depreciation is a term associated with hardware solutions. An OMR scanner is subject to wear and tear as it require continuous physical handling, and environmental factors such as dust, heat, and dampness also add up to its age. Amendments and upgrades demand physical customizations of the scanner parts.
Today, with the growing need for conducting examinations on a greater magnitude, physical deployment of the traditional OMR scanners at every data processing center on an international scale is but an expensive solution.
Traditional machine based form/sheet scanning solutions come with a set of limitations. OMR scanners are slow in operation for a start, and often face difficulty reading sheets of certain paper color, thickness or quality. Tilted or misaligned sheets are likely to be rejected, which calls for rescanning. Whereas, these are not parameters that affect the performance of the sheet scanning software.
