Creating Forms
The Remark Office OMR software
allows you to create your own forms using any word processor
or survey design package. Forms can be printed on a laser
printer, photocopied, or sent out to your local printer. We
are not involved in the creation of your forms. you have the
flexibility to create and duplicate as many as you need.
Training Remark to Read Your Form
Remark Office OMR is unique in that
forms do not require any registration marks or drop-out inks
(special printing). Because of this, you have complete flexibility
over how the form is set up and where the marks are located.
In order for Remark Office OMR to read these forms, users
must "train" the software on the new form and create
a template file for the form. Training is accomplished with
the Remark Office OMR Template Editor. It is a simple procedure
where the user scans a form, the software displays the image
of the form, and with the mouse, the user drags "boxes"
around the areas of marks and fills in some information about
these areas (defines what each mark should translate into
if filled in). The training session takes a few minutes per
page.
Scanning Forms
The Remark Office OMR software works with an image scanner
to scan and process your survey or test forms. Remark Office
OMR can read OMR areas, as well as barcode information from
your forms. Handwritten and typewritten areas cannot be read
by the software but can be captured as image fields for later
key entry by an operator. Built in exception handling easily
locates and allows you to correct or verify any erroneously
marked forms (i.e.- a person fills in two marks for a question,
or fails to answer a question).
Data Export
Once your forms have been scanned and processed the software
can save the data to one of over 30 different output formats
for use with virtually any analysis package (such as SPSS,
dBase, Access, Excel or Lotus 1-2-3). Remark Office OMR can
even save your data to an HTML format for publishing on the
Internet or to an Intranet. Or, save your data in Remark Office
OMR's own format and take advantage of the software's built
in analytical tools.
Data Analysis
Remark Office OMR includes Remark Quick StatsT, which allows
you to tally surveys or grade tests with the click of a button.
You can tabulate your survey and then run reports such as
an item analysis, item statistics or crosstabs to view your
results. If you administer tests, the software can automatically
grade them. For a test, you can specify an answer key, grade
scale and other options, and then the software can grade the
test and produce statistics and graphs representing the item
analysis, frequency distribution, student scores and several
other test statistics. Remark Office OMR also produces a grade
report for each student which can be printed and handed back
to the student.
