How does FormReturn differ from other OMR software systems?
We designed FormReturn to be different because we felt that many other OMR software applications aren't easy to use or are expensive. Furthermore, most other OMR software systems require Windows, but ten percent of all computers used are Macs. We created FormReturn for simplicity of OMR form design integrated with barcode recognition of form pages for seamless automatic collection of response data and addressed these major issues:
1. Cross platform - A first for OMR software (Optical Mark Recognition software) - FormReturn will run on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. FormReturn is one of the first major OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) solutions to run on platforms other than Windows. With over 30 percent of educational institutions in the USA using Macs, Windows won't need to be run to to mark forms ever again!
2. Design your own forms, Integrated, easy to use - Many OMR solutions require the checkbox part of the form to be on a different sheet from the questions and other OMR software systems require you to design the checkboxes in a
word processor with special OMR fonts, print the forms out, scan the
forms in, select the checkboxes in the scanned image and add the
values. These extra steps can be very tedious, confusing and time consuming.
FormReturn facilitates the designing of forms so they don't have to be created in a word processor. The steps to collecting data with FormReturn are automated, you don't have to go through the whole process of re-training forms. There is no need to "train" forms in FormReturn. FormReturn saves both the form design and its recognition structure as you design the form! You can share FormReturn template files with other users (even on any platform) without needing to adjust anything. Our quick start tutorial takes less than 20 minutes to watch and is easy enough for anyone with an average knowledge of computers to understand.
3. Automated tracking and form processing - Other OMR software solutions only allow one page for auto ID generation as they never factored in needing more than one page for a form. They also require the installation of OMR and barcode fonts. FormReturn uses unique form barcodes for the recognition of each page as it is returned. There is no need to select the recognition template that the form has to be detected with. Forms are automatically registered, marked, and scored. You can even link an external system to FormReturn's database to trigger events once forms have been processed!
4. Built for workgroups - You can network copies of FormReturn together. This allows you to access the results of students, or survey statistics across your organization. You can also have one computer processing forms while the rest create them. All data is stored in one place (the FormReturn Server) which can help aid in the process of backing up data
5. Affordability - FormReturn is one of the most affordable OMR solutions (both hardware and software) on the market.
