OMR voting sheets or OMR ballot paper can be folded, crushed but still can be read accurately. The process is a better alternative to the electronic voting system because a special electronic voting device is required, which is available only by the government and used for major elections. In the electronic voting system, there is no hard copy evidence or documentation of the actual voting so the reliability of the counts is always a question.

The OMR election sheet or OMR ballot paper bears the names of the candidates against which a blank area for stamping is provided. This is exactly similar to conventional OMR, process so no extra training of the voter or the polling booth manager is required. Once the voting is done the ballot paper can be folded and dropped into the drop box. On collection the voting sheets are scanned and read quickly by the system. The only time required is of OMR scanning because OMR reading is done extremely fast.

Voting can be done for multiple candidates in the same sheet, for example as required in general body elections, multiple post options can be provided on the same OMR sheet.

The advantage of this process is that despite being simple it is able to provide quick and elaborate results like votes per candidate, top listed candidates, votes for combination of candidates etc.

The results of voting conducted at several locations can be quickly merged at the head office location using the Server version of the Addmen OMR Reader Software to announce the results centrally or on the website.

OMR Based Automated Questionnaire

Surveys are essentially a great way to conduct market research and to analyze the competition. Many government bodies also conduct occasional surveys before or after introducing new policies. Educational institutions and recruitment firms use questionnaires to facilitate student/employee feedback. OMR based questionnaires are also an important part of medical research and facilitate many mass-scale R&D activities carried out by large medical associations and institutions.

OMR Based Questionnaire - Features

• Questions may also contain alpha-numerical values and matrix-type bubbles.
• You can also design questionnaires with open text fields for response entries, if required.
• Can be designed in plain black & white format or in 2 colors like black-pink, black-orange etc.
• Generally filled using blue/black ball point pen

OMR Based questionnaires can be designed using Addmen''s OMR software, which comes as a complete OMR solution. OMR based automated questionnaires are highly beneficial for facilitating mass-scale surveys, without needing tedious manual administration and verification of the completed questionnaires. Completed questionnaire sheets are scanned using any image scanner, and the scanned images are read using the OMR software, which collects all the details to be exported in Excel formats.

Some IT service providers take outsourcing contracts of reading OMR sheets for universities or large examination bodies where they have to handle large number of OMR sheets in very short periods. Besides OMR Reader they also require to use OCR Scanning Software or a combination of OMR-OCR-ICR scanning software. For these types of requirements, Addmen OMR Professional variant is available.

The advanced version of the Addmen OMR Software has all the above mentioned features of the standard version and a few additional features related to faster processing of huge data.

• Alerts for specific filling conditions like double mark, over fill etc.

• Allows editing of data at the time of reading in manual mode. Auto validation of reasonably skewed images.

• Helps to avoid rescanning by allowing manual placing or virtual location of improperly printed/ scanned index points.

• SQL database used as backhand for efficient processing.

• Allows multiple instances reading achieving speeds of more than 10000 sheets/HR.

Addmen OMR system utilizes very little system resources. So it is possible to run more than one projects on a single computer to optimize the need for computers and scanners.

At one end it also required to keep the projects separate with separate databases, on the other end it is also not possible to maintain several networks and workstations for the evaluation team. Neither it is possible to keep moving scanned images in a pendrie from one computer to the other.

So it is preferred to maximize the use of one single computer to be able to simultaneously process multiple projects. This is achievable through activation of multiple licenses on a single computer to run as parallel instances.

New mechanism of use of biometrics and smart card devices has evolved for the purpose of automation of attendance. This mechanism is not only costly but also not feasible in all cases. Card based or biometrics based attendance is good for employee based organizations where time log is important or in case of educational institutes where attendance is to be marked only once a day at in-time.

In certain schools & colleges, it is required to record attendence in every period. Manual means of using the attendence register in the class is the most used and feasible way of marking attendence in these educational Institutes. However entry of such attendence is a big task and takes a lot of effort in manual feeding of attendence in computer, which is repititive and error prone.

One of the mechanism to record attendence is the use of OMR based Attendence Sheets to mark the attendence in the class and use the Addmen OMR Form Reader to automatically and quickly record the attendence into the computer for easy reporting.

According to the latest introduction of OMR sheets by CBSE, it has become mandatory for CBSE school to use OMR sheets and prepare their students to write their answers on OMR sheets. Addmen provides a very simple to use and most economical OMR Answer Sheet Checker software.

Addmen offers the only OMR Software that has single pass integrated ICR reading (Hand Writing Recognition) besides many other type of optical recognition in the single pass. You don''t have to scan and read sheets separately again and can save a lot of time by avoiding repeated reading.

Though ICR as technology is not as accurate as OMR. But still with the unique integrated approach from sheet design to printing to scanning to reading, Addmen has been able to develop an exceptionally accurate ICR based Hand writing recognition solution.
(Addmen OMR is 100% accurate. Addmen ICR is 90%+ accurate)

We have adopted a smart modular approach to bring out the most accurate results while reading handwriting. To be able to achieve the best results, we start the preparation right at the time of sheet design by providing proper space to write the text in proper size. Also we do not read the whole text as one, instead we read character by character. Though it consumes marginally more time but then it drastically improves the accuracy.

Further, Addmen ICR reader has the ability to designate the expected output of a specific block so that inappropriate values are automatically narrowed down to the nearest accurate possibility.

Any scanner that scans can be used to scan OMR sheets. It is not necessary to buy hefty dedicated OMR scanners or OMR machines as per the old OMR scanner based reading technology. Now just any scanner can be used for scanning OMR sheets. It does not matter whether the image has been scanned one-by-one using an manual scanner or automatically using a high speed professional scanner. All the software needs is a scanned image of a sheet designed, printed and scanned as per specifications.

With Addmen software you are free to chose your scanner. The user is free to buy any scanner of any brand, any model form any where they want depending upon their budget and workload requirements.

As per the information bulletin published by National Testing Agency about IIT JEE Mains 2021, there is a slight change in the examination pattern.

Though there is no change in the type of questions and the total number of questions per subject. But there is a slight change in the evaluation criteria of these questions.

Now each subject will have two sections. Section-I will have 20 questions and Section-II will have 10 questions. But in Section II, the candidate is supposed to answer only 5 questions out of 10.
