Remark Classic OMR software scans and processes data from tests, assessments, surveys, and
other OMR scannable documents.
The software is combined with an OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) reader to recognize filled-in
marks on scan-able documents ("fill in the bubble" documents), which automates the data
collection process. This software gives you numerous data collection options with
comprehensive test grading, and survey analysis features.
Defining Your OMR Documents
Remark Classic OMR is very flexible in that it works with any OMR
form that can be scanned with an OMR Scanner. Remark Classic OMR uses a template for each
form application. The template allows the software to recognize the scannable areas of the
form that produces electronic data. Remark Classic OMR works with many standard OMR documents
that are in use today. For these documents, pre-defined templates are included in the
software. You can also create or purchase your own OMR documents independently of Remark
Classic OMR, and then create a template within the software to read them.. Remark Classic OMR
comes with a Template Editor for this process. Creating a template is an easy task where you
simply define the areas on the form containing data with easy to use wizards.
Reading Documents
Remark Classic OMR software works with the
Sekonic scanner to read and process your
documents. Remark Classic OMR recognizes data from OMR fields (bubble fields). For the
Sekonic scanner, the software also supports the
optional barcode reader, and the transport printer. Built-in exception handling easily
locates and allows you to correct or verify any erroneously marked documents (i.e. a person
fills in two marks for a question, or fails to answer a question).
Data Export
Once your documents have been read and processed, the software can
save the data to one of over 35 different output formats for use with virtually any analysis
package (such as SPSS, Access or Excel). Remark Classic OMR can even save your data to an
ODBC compatible database. Or, save your data in Remark Classic OMR's own format and take
advantage of the software's built in analytical tools.
Test Data Analysis with Remark Quick Stats
Remark Classic OMR includes the Remark Quick Stats application,
which provides powerful test grading and survey analysis functions with the click of a
button. If you administer tests, the software can automatically grade them. You can specify
an answer key, grade scale, map questions to learning objectives, set benchmark values and
more using the Grade Wizard. Then the software can grade the test and produce reports
representing the students' performance, item analysis, frequency distribution, student scores
and other data. Remark Quick Stats also produces a grade report for each student which can be
printed and handed back. For survey applications, Remark Quick Stats can tabulate your survey
and then run reports such as an item analysis, item statistics or crosstabs to view your
results.
