PLAIN-PAPER OMR SOFTWARE
Remark Office OMR
Capture data from surveys, tests, evaluations, ballots, research questionnaires and other structured paper forms using ordinary office scanners or multifunction devices. Validate recognized information, review exceptions, analyze responses and export reliable results into downstream reporting or database workflows.
Why Remark Office OMR?
Remark Office OMR is a Windows-based plain-paper data collection and analysis solution for surveys, tests, assessments, evaluations, ballots and many other structured forms. It is designed to reduce manual data entry by capturing information from paper forms with standard image scanners or multifunction copiers. The workflow can include form identification, page and respondent identification, validation, exception review, data transformation, analysis and export, allowing organizations to move from paper responses to structured information in a controlled process.
Organizations can create their own forms using familiar document or form-design tools, print or photocopy them on ordinary paper, distribute them through existing workflows, and then scan completed forms for automated recognition. This makes Office OMR particularly useful when an organization wants control over its form layout while keeping printing and scanning practical and familiar. Forms can contain bubbles, checkboxes, barcodes and machine-printed text, while qualitative responses can be retained as captured images for review and coding. The workflow is especially useful when forms change frequently, when an organization needs control over its own layout, or when existing office printing and scanning equipment should remain part of the process.
Office OMR supports multi-page and double-sided forms and can work with optical marks, barcodes and machine-printed text. Handwritten responses can be captured as images for review and coding, while ICR-based handwriting recognition is available through the supported Microsoft Computer Vision integration.
