OMR is an acronym for Optical Mark Recognition.
OMR forms are used for collecting data. Preparation of this type of form involves several critical steps.
Obviously, one needs to thoughtfully determine the kind of data that needs to be gathered and layout the questions in a clear, understandable format. These questions are then sent to the designer to figure out the best way to present these questions in an attractive layout. The designer needs to understand how the OMR scanner reads this information and position the questions and related response bubbles in just the right position on the form to assure that the scanner can accurately read the information. When the form design or layout is approved by the customer, the electronic form is moved to the printing phase. It is critical that the printer also understands the importance of consistent positioning of the printed sheet according to the layout.
The layout is based upon a grid system that is determined by the specific parameters of the scanner. The two basic elements of this grid are the timing marks and the response bubbles. The timing marks appear in one column on one edge of the sheet. These rectangular marks are viewed by the scanner as the sheet travels through it. A timing mark determines when to begin and end the viewing of the corresponding row of bubbles and record the results. A typical form can have up to 48 bubbles across the sheet. In order for the scanner to know what bubbles to look at, a file called a scanning definition needs to be created with the scanning software prior to the actual scanning process. This scanning definition tells the scanner which bubble or bubbles in the grid to look at to determine if they are filled in and then record the assigned value. These values or results are then added to an Excel type data file as each form is scanned. When the scanning is finished the results are then tabulated with the use of special reporting software. If the quality of the original scan form has been compromised by sloppy layout or printing processes, then the scanned data and the tabulated results potentially may not be reliable.
OMR is a great time-saving process in collecting data but can also create a huge headache if not done correctly. It’s important to do some homework and get a good handle on how OMR works before jumping into an OMR evaluation survey project. There are many good resources to be found on the internet that can assist you in one or all of the steps involved. Just google “omr data collection services” for an extensive list.

In 1850 Hessian with pre-stencilled patterns became available for the first time, a gentleman named Edward Frost, a peddler from Biddeford, Maine, grew interested in rugs whilst watching his wife at work, she was an experienced rug maker. He drew a pattern on some sacking and showed it to a neighbour, he was soon inundated with orders for more. Frost went on to make stencils from scrap tin so that he could stamp the patterns on Hessian, he sold his handiwork from door to door.
‘News of my invention of stamped rugs spread like magic…..I at once became Frost the rug man…I failed to find a man who dared invest a dollar in them: in fact, people did not know what they were for, and I had to go from house to house….for I found ladies who knew what patterns were for’.
In 1870 Frost began to print patterns in colour, and before ill health forced him to sell his business in 1876 he had made 750 zinc stencils capable of printing 180 designs. After his death, Frost’s stencils continued to be sold by mail order until 1900. They now belong to the Henry Ford museum at Greenfield Village, Dearborn, Michigan.
By the end of the nineteenth century, with the growth of industrialization and the increasing availability of inexpensive, ready made floor coverings of various types, the rag rug tradition had begun to die out. At the same time, however, the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement was beginning to be felt in England, as designers such as William Morris strove to counter the loss of craft skills arising from the industrialization and the poor quality of mass produced goods. The American Arts and Crafts movement was born out of similar dissatisfaction , the rag rug making continued, although in a more limited way, as part of the desire to sustain traditional crafts.
