An OMR sheet is a technical layout with precise dimensions. The Addmen OMR Software has an inbuilt OMR Sheet designer that can be used to create as many layouts as desired. Any number of OMR Sheet layouts can be created by Addm OMR Software using the inbuilt OMR Sheet designer module.
Although many ready-to-use OMR layout that fulfill majority of common requirements are already available in the software. The user can simply edit these standard templates to add in their Name and Logo.
The user is also independent about OMR sheet printing. The user can either print these sheets in-house using the laser or inkjet printers on their desk or they can get it offset printed locally. There is no specific need of two-color printing or thick paper in most cases.
OMR ScannerAny scanner that scans can be used to scan OMR sheets. It is not necessary to buy hefty dedicated OMR scanners or OMR machines as per the old OMR scanner based reading technology. Now just any scanner can be used for scanning OMR sheets. It does not matter whether the image has been scanned one-by-one using an manual scanner or automatically using a high speed professional scanner. All the software needs is a scanned image of a sheet designed, printed and scanned as per specifications.
With Addmen software you are free to chose your scanner. The user is free to buy any scanner of any brand, any model form any where they want depending upon their budget and workload requirements.
OMR SoftwareThis is the main component of the OMR reading process for the sake of which you are reading here on this webpage. Addmen provides OMR software solution which is modular so that only the price of required modules is added in your solution. The software process starts after the scanned images are put into a folder.
OMR refers to Optical Mark Recognition, used for detecting black marked bubbles, this technology is fully accurate and reliable and so it is widely used in decisive and critical processes like examination and elections etc.
OCR refers to Optical Character Recognition, used for detecting and reading printed characters, this technology is also highly accurate and reliable to a certain limit, so it is used as a supportive element in data collection process.
ICR refers to Intelligent Character Recognition, used for handwriting detection and reading, and obviously has varying degree of accuracy depending upon the handwriting of the user. So if the input is well formed, then this technology is also a good tool to supplement data collection processes.
In the traditional OMR machine-based technology, the OMR scanner was the central component responsible for both scanning and reading OMR data. The software played only a minor role — it merely calculated and displayed the results after the data had already been read by the machine.
However, with the latest OMR software-based technology, the entire process has evolved dramatically. The OMR software itself now performs both the data reading and data processing functions. This shift from a hardware-dependent system to a software-driven OMR solution makes the process far more flexible, accurate, and cost-effective.
In older OMR scanners, multiple hardware passes (often two-pass reading) were needed to ensure accuracy. The new intelligent OMR software eliminates this limitation. It can read OMR sheets at multiple thresholds in a single pass, ensuring superior accuracy while saving time and effort.
Because of this innovation, scanning can now be done using any regular image scanner — no need for expensive, dedicated OMR machines. This drastically reduces setup costs and increases accessibility for educational institutions, exam bodies, and survey organizations.
The OMR sheet design process has also become simpler and more user-friendly. Modern OMR sheet design software offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, allowing users to create fully printable and readable sheet layouts simultaneously.
Unlike older systems where printable designs had to be manually calibrated — a tedious and time-consuming process — today’s OMR software technology automatically aligns both design and reading parameters, ensuring perfect accuracy every time.
No dedicated OMR machine required – works with any standard scanner
Higher accuracy – reads at multiple thresholds in one pass
Faster processing – simultaneous reading and evaluation
Easy OMR sheet design – simple drag-and-drop layout builder
Flexible and scalable – suitable for schools, universities, and large-scale exams
Lower cost – eliminates dependency on specialized OMR hardware
Instant results and analytics – integrated data processing and report generation
Modern OMR software represents a complete shift from hardware-centric to software-centric OMR solutions. It offers unmatched speed, accuracy, and flexibility — key factors for institutions managing large-scale assessments or surveys.
Clearly, OMR software technology is a generation ahead and holds a significant edge over traditional OMR machine-based systems. It is the preferred choice for organizations seeking efficiency, scalability, and affordability in optical mark recognition.
Our Advanced Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) Software is a comprehensive solution designed to handle every aspect of data capture, evaluation, and automation with unmatched precision.
Addmen’s OMR Software goes beyond traditional Optical Mark Reading. It is integrated with both Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technologies, enabling it to read handwritten text, printed text, and optical marks seamlessly in a single scan.
This multi-functional capability allows users to process a wide range of document types — from OMR answer sheets and registration forms to feedback forms, surveys, and attendance sheets — all using the same unified system.
Our Advanced OMR System comes equipped with optional add-on modules that extend its functionality far beyond standard OMR reading.
With these intelligent extensions, the software can simultaneously handle:
Barcode recognition
QR Code and Lithocode reading
Image capture and analysis
This makes the Addmen OMR Software a true multi-purpose document processing platform capable of reading, interpreting, and storing complex data formats from a single scan.
In addition to our standard modules like the OMR Answer Sheet Checker — used widely for objective test evaluation and exam scoring — Addmen has developed a range of advanced OMR variants to cater to specific institutional and organizational needs.
Our Advanced International OMR Software is one such example. It features a multilingual interface, supporting Arabic, Russian (Cyrillic), and other global languages. This ensures accessibility and usability for diverse user bases across countries and regions.
Comprehensive OMR, OCR, and ICR integration in one software
Multi-language support for international users
Barcode and QR code compatibility for automated data mapping
Highly accurate and fast data processing using any standard scanner
Scalable solutions for schools, universities, corporates, and government exams
Secure and reliable performance trusted by 5,000+ clients globally
Addmen’s Advanced Optical Mark Recognition Software is not just an upgrade — it represents the future of automated data reading and evaluation.
By combining intelligent recognition, flexible integration, and multilingual support, it empowers organizations to process large volumes of data accurately and efficiently — without the need for specialized hardware.
Addmen goes a step ahead in providing a Advanced Server Integrated OMR Solutions to organizations with multiple branches or franchise centers.
The server integrated OMR system is a boon to those institutes who want to do the OMR reading and data collection at various location but want to process all the data at a central location.
The Distributed Setup of Addmen OMR allows the terminal deployments to work as standalone OMR installations and read their sheets locally.
The data collected locally at all centers is then uploaded automatically to the central server where it is used for further analysis.
