Optical Mark Recognition: Fundamentals and Applications

Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) is a method for gathering information from individuals by analyzing the markings they make on paper. Processing of hundreds or even thousands of documents can be accomplished in an hour using OMR. For instance, students may recall being obliged to use a pencil to fill in bubbles on paper in order to complete quizzes or surveys at some point in their academic careers. After the cards have been fed into a system that grades or collects data based on them, the form will be filled out by a teacher or a teacher's aide.
