ICR / OCR / OMR Form Processing

Business process services : Form Processing, India

Our world class scanners feed ICR, OCR & OMR type of characters from the forms and convert them into digital data.

ICR:Intelligent Character Recognition or Hand Print Character recognition;

OCR:Optical Character Recognition or Machine Print Character recognition and

OMR:Optical mark Recognition complete the form variety.

ICR, OCR and OMR technologies all provide a means of data collection from faxes & scanned images. All three technologies require Image Scanning.

Our multilingual people are dedicated to provide complete and accurate data conversion services to our worldwide customers at the lowest possible cost and delivered at the required time. With a robust data security policy & business continuity plan in place, we are fully safeguard for customer data at all times. Our expertise is in XML, Data Capture, Clinical Data Management, Digital Archiving, Scanning OCR, Typesetting, Yellow Pages, Forms Processing, Database / Indexing and PDF & Other Conversion.

Our Document Scanning team provides services to support large scale document conversion projects that require quick turnarounds and high quality deliverables. We are equipped with the latest high speed scanning equipment and our scanning services are probably one of the lowest cost services you will ever find. We are capable of scanning books & paper larger than A3 Size (11.8 X 18.7") (300 X 475 mm).

Optical Mark Recognition (OMR):: OMR technology detects the presence or absence of a mark, but not the shape of the mark. Forms containing small ovals, referred to as bubbles that are filled in by a respondent, are scanned through an OMR Scanner. OMR can not recognize the hand-printed or machine printed characters.

OMR is the fastest and most accurate data collection techniques. For test answers, and grid like ID numbers, it's also easy for the user. The accuracy of OMR is a result of precise measurement of the darkness of a mark, and the sophisticated mark discrimination algorithm for determining whether a mark is an erasure of a mark.
Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR):: ICR technology gives scanning and imaging systems the ability to turn the images of hand printed characters into machine readable characters.

Image of hand printed characters extracted from a bitmap of the scanned image. Forms can be scanned through an Image Scanner, faxed or computer generated to produce the bitmap.

ICR is less accurate than OMR and will require editing to achieve perfect data. However, when compared to manual key entry, ICR does reduce keystrokes for data collection and provides a more friendly form for demographic data.
Optical Character Recognition (OCR):: OCR technology gives scanning and imaging systems the ability to turn images of machine printed characters into machine readable characters. Images of machine printed characters are extracted from a bitmap of a scanned image.

OCR is less accurate than OMR but more accurate than ICR. OCR can provide a good alternative to pre slugged OMR grid such as student ID number, thereby leaving free space on the form for other design elements.
