OMR Answer Sheet Design Software

The OMR sheet is a technical document that has fixed dimensions and measurements. Earlier, designing the OMR sheet was a process that could be done only by professionals. However, with the introduction of Addmen's OMR software, OMR sheets can be designed by the users themselves. The OMR sheet designer is an inbuilt facility available with the OMR software. You do not have to buy it separately.

OMR sheet design process

You do not need to have any specific skills to design the OMR sheets with the OMR software. The OMR sheets can be created by dragging and dropping the matrix of bubbles. You have the freedom to move these bubbles in any manner, as you please. This is the technical part of the OMR sheet designing process. Once this is done, the sheet is exported to an external software for further editing, which includes adding the instruction text, logo of the institute, etc. These can be done using Corel Draw or Open Source free software. The process that follows is printing the sheets using inkjet, rezograph, and laser or offset printer.

Different types of OMR sheet designs

The OMR software gives you the opportunity to design different types of OMR sheets. There is no limit to the design layouts you can create with this software. The size of the OMR sheet can vary from that of a small stamp to as big as A3 size. However, the most commonly used paper for OMR Sheet Printing is A4 size white paper.
