A versatile software package to support data capture for the Sekonic
SR-410 / SR-3500 / SR-3600
The Remark Classic OMR® software scans and processes data from tests, assessments, surveys and other forms. The software is combined with an OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) reader to recognize filled-in marks on forms (“fill in the bubble” forms), which automates the data collection process. This software gives you the great data collection, test grading, and survey analysis, statistical analysis, and over 35 output file formats for further processing.
Defining Your Forms
Remark Classic OMR uses a template for each form type that is to be recognized. The template holds the information that allows the software to recognize the areas of data 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. Remark Classic OMR comes with a Template Editor for processing your custom designed forms.. Training is a simple procedure where you create a template for a form by defining the areas on the form containing data to be processed. You then fill in some information about each of these areas (this defines what each completed mark should translate into) and through this process the software “learns” how to process your form.
Reading The Forms
The Remark Classic OMR software works with a all Sekonic OMR’s to read and process your forms. Remark Classic OMR recognizes data from OMR fields (bubble fields)., the software also supports the optional barcode reader, the transport printer, and also the Reject Stacker.. 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 35 different output formats for use with virtually any analysis package (such as SPSS, dBase, Access, Excel or ASCII). Remark Classic OMR can even save your data to an ODBC compatible database. Or, save your data in Remark Classic OMR's own format and take advantage of the software's built in analytical tools.
Data Analysis with Remark Quick Stats
Remark Classic OMR includes the Remark Quick Stats application, which provides powerful test grading and survey analysis functions with the click of a button. If you administer tests, the software can automatically grade them. You can specify an answer key, grade scale, map questions to learning objectives, set benchmark values and more using the Grade Wizard. Then the software can grade the test and produce reports representing the students' performance, item analysis, frequency distribution, student scores and other data. Remark Quick Stats also produces a grade report for each student which can be printed and handed back. For survey applications, Remark Quick Stats can tabulate your survey and then run reports such as an item analysis, item statistics or crosstabs to view your results.
