OMR

OMR is a short for Optical character reading.OMR is a type of system that gathers information by using a hardware device that detects a reflection or an absence of reflection from a card or piece of paper. OMR enables the processing of hundreds or thousands of documents every hour automatically. OMR processing is popular for tests, where students receive a special card containing several empty circles and a packet that contains the questions and possible answers to each of the questions. The student must complete the test by using a pencil to fill in each blank circle with what he or she believes is the correct answer. For example, if the answer is "B", the student would have to completely fill in the "B Circle" in order to get the answer correct. Once the card or form has been completed a user would feed the cards into a system that grades and/or gathers the information from the card.
