                                                            Meaning of OMR 

OMR is the short form of optical mark recognition, the technology of electronically extracting intended data from marked fields, such as check boxes and fill-infields, on printed forms. OMR technology scans a printed form and reads premarked spaces and records where marks are made on the form. This technology is useful for applications in which large numbers of hand-filled forms need to be processed quickly and with great accuracy, such as survey reports, reply cards and examining of large number of answer papers. A common OMR application is the use of sheets containing oval spaces for multiple-choice tests used by schools, colleges and other examining bodies. The student indicates the answer on the answer sheet by darkening the corresponding oval space, and the form is passed through an optical mark reader , a device that scans the document and reads the data from the darkened spaces. The error rate of this technology is negligible.
