EzeScan Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) Module
The EzeScan OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) Module adds support for reading a mark in a box or a circle. Optical Mark technology is very popular for automating the extraction of data from forms like questionaires, applications, surveys, feedback and so on.
With EzeScan OMR the operator can allow the setup of custom settings and group rules. For example:
- Data can have customised Hit/Miss values e.g. Yes/NO, True/False, 0/1, AMEX, VISA, etc
- Data can have a Not Applicable value. e.g. instead of True or False an NA value could be used.
- The OMR zones can be combined in a group rule. e.g For a question which has two answers 1) Yes or 2) No, this group can be configued so there can only be 1 hit. If there is 0 or 2 hits EzeScan will flag this as an exception so the operator can deal with later.
- The OMR output data is very customisable, EzeScan can simply output the hit values or all values for all check boxes. The output data can be defined in many different file formats, e.g. csv, txt, dat, xml or the data can also be uploaded into an ODBC compliant database using the EzeScan UPLOAD module.
The EzeScan OMR template form definition and management is simple to create and manage and can be done by any trained EzeScan administrator. This gives the operator the power to manage and deploy new forms within the business without the need of external professional services.
