2. OpenMCR : Free and Open-Source Multiple Choice Exam Reader

Commercially available OMR (optical mark recognition) exam sheets, scanners, and processing software can cost educators and educational institutions thousands of dollars per year. In response to this, OpenMCR has been developed as a free and easy-to-use alternative. The tool includes a multiple choice exam sheet and works with any scanner and printer.

This software and the corresponding multiple choice sheet were developed as an independent study project by Ian Sanders, a mechanical engineering student at the University of South Florida, under the direction of Dr. Autar Kaw.

For a detailed discussion of the algorithm and features in use, please read the report as submitted for the original independent study course.

Can be installed on windows or can be used on linux without install. Check the github link for more information.
