Which of the following is capable of recognizing a pre-specified type of mark by pencil or pen?

  • A.OMR
  • B.Winchester
  • C.Bar code reader
  • D.Image Scanner

Answer: A

Correct answer: OMR

Optical mark recognition detects the presence or absence of a mark in a predefined position, which is why the forms it reads have printed boxes or lozenges to be filled.

It reads position rather than shape, which makes it simple and very reliable - and is why it is used for examination answer sheets, ballot papers and survey forms. Optical character recognition, by contrast, must identify the shapes of characters, a far harder problem. A bar code reader reads bar widths, and Winchester is an old term for a hard disk.
