OMR SDK Technology

LEADTOOLS provides fast and accurate Optical Mark Recognition SDK technology for .NET (C# & VB, Core, Xamarin, UWP), C/C++, iOS, macOS, Linux, Java, and web developers. Leverage the high-level LEADTOOLS OMR toolkit to rapidly develop robust, high-performance recognition applications which detect whether boxes are checked and bubbles are filled within surveys and tests, saving time and money over manual data entry and inspection. LEADTOOLS OMR SDK technology includes specialized functions that automatically detect structured and loosely structured bubble layouts, helping your end-users quickly define new master forms. LEADTOOLS OMR does not restrict your end-users to using specific OMR forms designs that required specialized equipment to be processed. LEADTOOLS OMR can evaluate marked survey results to provide detailed statistics and compare marked tests against an answer key to calculate grades.
