Comparison of Addmen OMR Software with Other OMR Softwares on the Basis of Design & Printing of OMR Sheets
For OMR operations, sheets forms major part of the process which enforces high running cost, but by Addmen’s OMR solution, the user can control sheet design and printing by easy process. For other OMR software, one need high geometric skill to design sheets which actually takes lot of time and efforts. On paper,Addmen OMR solution and others may sound similar but practically there are lot of constraint in later one. Users accept whatever is available rather than venturing into new OMR features. Other OMR Solutions User is required to design sheets separately using geometric knowledge and manually align bubble matrix which takes lot of time. Print is scanned and each bubble needs to be adjusted manually by overlapping reading areas which is huge task and involves high skills. Restriction for using only 2-colour OMR sheets based on colour dropping system. High OMR sheet cost at around Rs.1.25 per sheet which only very good printers can print properly. It requires thick paper and accurate cutting of size for accuracy. Order in advance &stock is required because procurement takes time. In case of multi-location use, sheets to be supplied from central stores. Addmen OMR Software Simple drag & drop of bubbles can be used and rest is taken care by software along with auto alignment & snapping tasks. User can create design in no time. Definition and calibration is done automatically by OMR sheet designing software Regular used single colour sheets can be made along with 2- colour sheets OMR sheet designing software involves Negligible cost of OMR Sheet around Rs. 0.50 per sheet. Laser Prints, photocopies and local offset press-all are compatible which also solves stock issues. Normal A4 copier sheet or any offset paper can be used. Laser prints can be used in emergency. Sheets can be printed by individual centres or users with variations. Comparison of Effectiveness of Sheet Designing & Printing in Addmen OMR SystemOlder OMR Solutions In past, OMR Machine based technology had lot of dependencies on Machine vendor and OMR Sheet vendor.OMR companies have sheet designing features but how quick and easy is a part of investigation. It involves lot of activities. Sheet designing essentially requires use of Corel Draw, which is a violation of licensing. Coloured OMR sheets are essentially required. High end scanners with colour dropping scanning are required. It leaves no scope for logical adjustments to accommodate variations in mark size and intensity as colour dropping is performed at the time of scanning. Addmen OMR Software Addmen software has inbuilt sheet design feature which helps self-designing. So, any normal b/w printout on normal white paper and any scanner for scanning of sheets can be used. In Addmen OMR Software it would not take more than 10 minutes to design an OMR sheet.Addmen OMR software delivers output in open source formats, compatible with Corel Draw. Black & White prints are absolutely OK. Addmen OMR software comes with inbuilt colour dropping facility for coloured OMR sheets which enables even low end scanner for action |
