Advantages of OMR Technology

OMR: the technology of choice

Why has optical mark read (OMR) become the technology of choice for so many businesses, schools, and government entities?

  1. OMR scanning is fast. An OMR scanner can maintain a throughput of 1,500 to 10,000 forms per hour. This activity can be controlled and processed by a single PC workstation, which can handle any volume the scanner can generate. Increasing the throughput simply requires upgrading the scanner.
  2. OMR scanning is accurate. It consistently provides unmatched accuracy when reading data, exceeding the accuracy of expert key-entry clerks because it eliminates transcription errors.
  3. OMR scanning is cost effective. With OMR technology, organizations can accomplish a wide variety of administrative tasks rapidly and accurately from a central location, with minimum initial and ongoing outlay of funds.
  4. OMR scanning is easy to implement and support. Compared to many PC network installations, OMR scanners' need for ongoing technical support is minimal. OMR scanners also solve most system availability issues: data can be recorded on an OMR form even when a PC or network goes down. If questions arise, a source form is available to validate results.
