All About OMR Scanner for OMR Sheet Scanning
Addmen OMR Software is used to collect data from completed OMR Sheets, and process them into results. Candidate responses from the scanned answer sheets are read by the OMR Answer Sheet Checker or the OMR Form Reader software, which correlate the candidate's answer responses to the predefined answer key. This automated evaluation yields accurate results and helps save a lot of time and cut down a handful of costs incurred throughout all operations in the examination process.
Use any regular image scanner with Addmen OMR software
You can do with a low to mid-range ADF Scanner (Automatic Document Feeder) or a domestic model of a flatbed image scanner for scanning the OMR sheets.
The OMR software is not necessarily integrated or configured with the image scanner, so your scanning process is not just limited to the PC in which the OMR software is running.
ADF Scanners deliver high scanning speeds and you can place about 30-50 sheets to be scanned automatically at one time.
ADF Image Scanner has pocket for Automatic Scanning.
Flatbed Image Scanner also works but slow because it scans one by one.

With OMR software solutions, you can do with a regular image scanner for scanning OMR Sheets. The actual data collection and processing is carried out using the OMR software. It won’t burn your pockets to get a mid-range flatbed or an ADF Image scanner, which you can obtain with ease. |
Previous solutions were restricted to just the high-speed OMR scanner machine with a built-in scanner, and they came integrated with a data processing software. But these solutions come with many limitations – their availability is limited to only metro cities, they are bulky, expensive and are with associated high maintenance costs. These are priced too high to afford for multi-deployment. |
