Handwriting reader ICR and OMR

The OMR or Optical Mark Recognition reader can recognize dark marks on an OMR sheet. This sheet is not quite the same as a normal piece of paper as it contains index points on its four corners. These list focuses help the OMR reader to recognize the dull stamps on the air pockets. While most OMR programming can't read manually written content and pictures, those that have OCR and ICR are able to so. OCR is Optical Character Recognition and ICR is Intelligent Character Recognition.

The presence of these readers has several advantages.

§  With the OCR it is conceivable to read printed digits, while the ICR is utilized to read manually written digits. Some OMR sheets like admission or other information collection forms have space where individuals need to give data in writing. This incorporates name, location, course details, etc.  As writing these details may lead to errors, most schools and universities prefer toward utilizing the OCR and ICR readers.

§  Apart from handwritten description, admission forms likewise require the students to stick their photo in the space gave. With the ICR reader, the photo is caught and implanted in the database.

§  Some OMR answer sheets have barcodes on them. With the OCR and ICR readers it is conceivable to read barcodes in a wide range of coding formats.

Any regular scanner can be used to read the OMR sheets. Once you scan the sheet, the OMR, ICR and OCR software would do the processing and deliver the necessary results and details.
