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 OMRs own format and take advantage of the softwares built in analytical tools.

Data Analysis
Remark Office 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 Office OMR also produces a grade report for each student which can be printed and handed back to the student.
