Our Optical Mark Reading (OMR) Service has been around for many years. It gives departments a fast and efficient way of marking examinations or processing questionnaires.
This easy-to-use yet reliable service employs a scanning technology in which data is scanned (or "read") via marks made in predefined positions on a form and entered into a computer system as data files. This greatly improves the efficiency of researches and student projects as the format of the data files is directly acceptable to all data analysis software.
