AuAuto Rec OMR:

PRODUCT OVERVIEW:

AutoRec brings cutting edge technology for reading OMR forms. This software can read marks and barcodes simultaneously. AutoRec is best suited for multiple choice questions as it is 100% accurate. AutoRec can crop photographs and read marks on a sheet in a single scan. Forms designed for any OMR scanner can be easily read by this software.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

• The software requires OMR sheet to be scanned only once for reading marks and cropping a photo, if any.

• The software eliminates the need for purchasing costly OMR scanners.

• Marks can be oval, circular or square in shape.

• Marks can be marked by using an HB pencil, blue or black ball point pen.

• Answers can be changed by the students by erasing or crossing the earlier marks.

• Partially filled circles,ovals or squares can also be read. Even the marks larger than the bubble can also be read.

• Software can read multi-topic OMR sheet and can generate reports as required.

• Various keys can be used for evaluation of answer books.

• Software can detect the difference between a speck, a minute stain and a mark.

• Software can automatically correct the skewed images.

• OMR sheet can be with blobs, rectangle or timeline.

• Negative marking or any logic for evaluation can be incorporated into the software.

• Questions with more than one answer or no answer can be noted and evaluated  accordingly.

• Software can incorporate any algorithm for evaluation. Marks can be allotted for a wrong question also.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• AutoRec for OMR is cost effective and time saving .
• Hassle of purchasing and maintaining costly OMR scanners is eliminated.
• The software is being used by clients throughout the length and breadth of the nation.
• Software can be completely tailored according to the specific requirement of a user.

Various Modules of AutoRec OMR:
 

Scanning Module : It facilitates the scanning of paper documents by production level ADF scanners. All scanners based on TWAIN protocol are supported. Documents can be scanned in various formats like JPEG, BMP, TIFF etc at various resolutions. One sided as well as two sided documents can be scanned by using simplex or duplex options.

Designing Module: With help of this module a user can design a template for a document to be read. This template indicates the position of various fields in a document. Properties of each field-whether it is a character field, numeric field, address field, handwritten or machine printed field etc-are fed into the module. Co-ordinates of the photo fields are given in this module. These image fields are later indexed and used according to specific needs of the user. Image is cleaned by automatic 'deskewing' ,' despeckling' and 'box removal' features.

Recognition Module: In this module recognition of the data takes place. This process is completely automated and does not require any human intervention. This module can work for 24 hours non-stop.This module reads data from the images and converts that into editable text format or any other format that is required by the user. Recognition module can fix reference points from rectangle, blob, timeline or machine printed characters. Recognition is done by using highly advanced Feature Analysis Algorithms, which provide a high level of accuracy. The recognition engine combined with our proprietary S2M engine ensures accuracy levels as high as 98%*.(* Benchmarking done on PTUCET 2003)Feature richness enables this engine to recognize even unstructured forms.

Proofreading Module: This is the only module where output is limited by human productivity. Special attention has been paid to make this module user friendly and 'time saving'. Any mistake that might have crept in during recognition can be rectified in this module. S2M engine makes it possible to replace one character with other by a single mouse click. Keyboard and a virtual keyboard can be put into use for correcting the mistakes. Suspect and unrecognized characters are marked in red. This module makes it possible for user to send pure data into the database.

Admin Module:  In this module users can be created and various activities like scanning, recognition, designing and proofreading can be assigned to different users. Administrator can assign various rights and roles to different users. The Admin module shows the real time progress of each and every batch and users currently logged into Autorec Forms. This enables the administrator to calculate the time needed for the completion of a job.
