Functions of OMR software
With the development of Optical mark reader software, the work became easier to perform it saved lots of time and is used for multiple purposes
At the beginning of new session several forms are submitted and hence collecting all the information from the forms are not possible manually. Hence, Yomark helps in reading the forms and collects all the information and save it in the software for the use of the administration. Yomark can read all type of forms such as admission, registration, feedback and survey form.
Manually evaluation of the answers sheet is time consumption and sometimes error occurs. Hence, to lessen the efforts in checking the answer sheet Yomark was introduced. The answer sheets are scanned and saved in the software. Once all the scanning process is completed it is stored in the software.The path is directed to the software as to where the sheet is stored.The software reads the sheet from the folder and generate result.
This segment is the most powerful feature of the software. Once the software has completed reading the sheets a consolidated report is generated. The result generated has the following characteristics such as a student can compare its result with toppers as well as from the average students. Further, the students get full analysis of the result like how many questions he has been attempted, how many questions is wrong and how many question not attempted. Even the result displayed consist of subject wise details.
If the OMR sheet has more than one page, then you need not worry about processing of multiple pages as the software allows to process OMR forms with multiple pages in one go and gives complete information in one table. If required, you can club the information of one page with that of another page and combined result can be provided.
The significant feature of this software is that it has inbuilt template design. The user can select any design template while printing of the question paper. In case, if the user is not satisfied with the inbuilt design template then there is an option to design your own template. User can design their own template. This feature of the software saves time as well as you need not run to the vendor when required to get the template redesigned, you can do it by yourself.
Each OMR sheet has a printed bar-code. The software reads it and provides the corresponding encoded data. This is very useful tool as it helps to locates the misplaced sheet, rectify errors and incomplete OMR sheets. User can also create bar-codes for any information you want to encode.
Many a times we cannot input all the information on the OMR sheet due to limitation of OMR sheet, even it becomes difficult to infill the address or e-mail id etc. Such type of information is taken as image and can be saved for future use. Also, it is used to take images of student’s photograph and students signature as an image and save it as it can be used when required.
