Optical Mark Reading


OMR is the process of gathering information
from human beings by recognizing marks on
a document. OMR is accomplished by using
a hardware device (scanner) that detects a
reflection or limited light transmittance on
or through piece of paper.

Radio-Frequency
IDentification
A significant advantage of RFID devices over the
others mentioned above is that the RFID device
does not need to be positioned precisely
relative to the scanner. We're all familiar with
the difficulty that store checkout clerks
sometimes have in making sure that a barcode
can be read. And obviously, credit cards and
ATM cards must be swiped through a special
reader.

Bar code Readers


For the understanding of the bar code readers,
first we need to understand the bar code. A
barcode is used to encode information in a
visual pattern readable by a machine.
Barcodes are used for a variety of reasons
including tracking products, prices, and stock
levels for centralized recording in a computer
software system.

Scanners and Pen


Scanners
A revolutionary patented image processing
technology is the magic behind Scanmarker.
Unlike other products, Scanmarker does not use
costly, complicated mechanical components
such as wheels and tooth-wheels to measure
scanning speed. Instead, the printed text is
scanned and captured as a raw image and
processed to a high quality image, ready for
recognition by the OCR software.

Handwriting Recognition
Devices
The devices has grown, many have the capabilities to
translate the owner's handwriting into notes.
Livescribe Smartpen : When connected to a computer, the
notes are then copied onto the desktop. The pen also
features the ability to record audio that corresponds to
the notes taken. It features 4 gigabytes of storage space.
Apple iPhone: The application for the iPhone, called
HWPen, allows users to write using their fingertips instead
of the pre-installed Qwerty keyboard

Optical Character
Recognition
Working with text on your computer offers a
range of possibilities in searching and editing that
simply aren't available with hard copy text.
Check out these five text recognition tools to get
your printed text into your computer.
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) has been
around for decades but only recently has become
both economical and easy enough to use that it is
within the reach of the average consumer.

How does OCR work?


Let's suppose life was really simple and there was only
one letter in the alphabet: A. Even then, you can
probably see that OCR would be quite a tricky problem
because every single person writes the letter A in a
slightly different way. Even with printed text, there's
an issue, because books and other documents are
printed in many different typefaces (fonts) and the
letter A can be printed in many subtly different forms.
Broadly speaking, there are two different ways to solve
this problem, either by recognizing characters in their
entirety (pattern recognition) or by detecting the
individual lines and strokes characters are made from
(feature detection) and identifying them that way.

Recognizing the characters that make up neatly laserprinted computer text is relatively easy compared to
decoding someone's scribbled handwriting. That's the
kind of simple-but-tricky, everyday problem where
human brains beat clever computers hands-down: we
can all make a rough stab at guessing the message
hidden in even the worst human writing.
