Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) technology is used to scan and capture data from marked paper forms, such as surveys or multiple-choice exams. The main functions of OMR include detecting and interpreting pencil marks on paper, converting them into digital data, and analyzing the responses for further processing or evaluation. OMR systems use specialized software and hardware to accurately and efficiently read and process large volumes of data from paper-based forms.
