The Remark Classic OMR software scans and processes data from surveys, tests and other office forms. The software is combined with an OMR reader to recognize filled-in optical marks (bubbles and checkboxes) on forms, which automates the data collection process. This software gives you the great data collection, survey tabulation and test grading features of Remark Office OMR, but works with traditional OMR readers and pre-printed forms from Pearson NCS, Sekonic, Scantron, Chatsworth Data and Apperson Print Management. Remark Classic OMR Overview
Training Remark Classic OMR to Read Your Form
Remark Classic OMR utilizes a template for each form type that is to be recognized. The template holds the information that allows the software to recognize the marks on the form and produce output. Remark Classic OMR works with many standard forms that are in use today. For those forms, pre-defined templates are included in the software. You can also create or purchase your own OMR forms independently of Remark Classic OMR, and then train the software to read them. Remark Classic OMR comes with a Template Editor for this process. Training is a simple procedure where the user creates a template for a form by adding the fields that are on the form using the mouse or a tree view structure. The user then fills in some information about these areas (defines what each mark should translate into if filled in) and the software displays the representation of the form.

Reading Forms
The Remark Classic OMR software works with a supported OMR reader to read and process your survey or test forms. Remark Classic OMR recognizes data from OMR fields (bubble fields). 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 read 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 Classic 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 Classic OMRs own format and take advantage of the softwares built in analytical tools.

Data Analysis
Remark Classic OMR includes Remark Quick Stats, 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 Classic OMR also produces a grade report for each student which can be printed and handed back to the student.
