What is OMR? and how it is helpful for Performance assessment
"OMR is an acronym for optical mark recognition which is used for reading human mark data may it be any kind of sheet such as admission form, test paper answer sheet, psychometric test, survey, or feedback form"
For reading the OMR sheet one should know how the sheet is designed. The kind of data need to be gathered and the layout of the questions must be clear and in understandable format. Once the initial requirement is finalized, the questions are then sent to the designer for the best possible way to present it in theattractive layout.
The layout is based on the grid system that is determined by the specific parameters of the scanners. The two basic elements of the grid are timing mark and the response bubbles. The timing marks appear on the edge of the sheet in one column and these rectangular marks are viewed by the scanner as the sheet travels through the scanner.
OMR is a time saving process and collects data accurately but in case if there is any mistake done then it becomes messy and creates problem. On the other hand, its lower error rate, user friendly and low cost, OMR has become popular.
OMR software is one the best option and is a computer software application which captures data from OMR sheet. OMR is possible on a desktop computer by using image scanner to process survey, attendance sheet, tests, checklist and other plain paper forms.
