OMR stands for ?

OMR stands for Optical Mark Recognition, which is a technology used to read marks made on paper documents. It is commonly used for scanning answer sheets, surveys, feedback forms, and ballots where users fill in circles or check boxes with a pencil or pen.

OMR works by using a special scanner that detects the presence or absence of marks in predefined areas of a form. These scanners are designed to identify darkened areas, such as filled-in bubbles, and convert that information into digital data. This technology makes data collection fast and accurate, especially in environments where large volumes of paper responses need to be processed, such as educational exams and official forms.
