What is OMR Technology

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- choice question, 
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 position 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.

Mangalyaan Film - Journey

Our Current Poster - We have lot many before , would post in Next Blogs A great day to start , it was Tuesday in USA in American Film Market in Nov 2015, when I was seeing the PM Modi's tweets and there I saw one  of his tweet, of Sep 2014, about the Success of the Mission Mangalyaan.
