When to use OMR:
Applications where OMR stands out as by far the most appropriate means of data capture are characterised when:

- information mainly comprises the selection of categories or "tick box" answers to multiple choice questions.
AXIOME OMR are used in many different field like education, quality control, order taking, statistics and marketing, questionning and votes.
