The scanning of OMR sheets is slightly different from regular document scanning.
An OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) sheet is a technically formatted document designed to be read by
OMR software or an OMR scanning machine.
To ensure accurate reading and evaluation, OMR sheets must be scanned properly following specific guidelines.
Earlier, OMR answer sheets were read using specialized OMR scanners or OMR machines, also known as Optical Mark Reader Devices.
These machines were expensive and required custom result processing software, making the entire process complex and costly.
Today, this outdated technology has been replaced with modern OMR sheet scanning software, which offers faster, cheaper, and more flexible solutions.
There are two main types of OMR scanning systems available:
Simple Image Scanner + OMR Reader & Result Processing Software (Modern, Cost-effective Solution)
Costly OMR Scanner Machine + Custom Result Processing Software (Outdated Technology)
With Addmen OMR Software, there is no need for any special OMR scanning machine.
You can easily scan OMR answer sheets or OMR application forms using a regular image scanner available in your office.
Once scanned, the images are automatically processed, evaluated, and converted into result data using the OMR Sheet Scanner Software.
Works with any standard document or flatbed scanner.
No special OMR scanner compatibility required.
Supports multi-brand and multi-model scanners simultaneously.
Scanning can be done on any computer, even without the OMR software installed.
Photocopier scanners and multi-function devices (MFDs) are also supported.
No need for special scanning features like color dropping or duplex scanning.
Depending on your scanning speed and volume requirements, you can choose from the following:
Using a regular image scanner with Addmen OMR Reader and Result Processing Software offers several practical benefits:
