OMR Reader

A combination of the following flags:

The 'Box Location' property specifies the direction(s) in which to search for OMR boxes relative to each label.

• Multiple directions can be selected (e.g., left, right, above, below).
• Use this property to match the layout of your form or document, ensuring that checkboxes are detected in the correct position.

Example: If checkboxes are always to the left of their labels, select 'West'.

The 'Max Distance' property controls how far the OMR Reader will search for a checkbox from each label.

• Enter a value in inches, points, or percent (e.g., 0.25in).
• Increase the value for forms with widely spaced labels and boxes; decrease for tightly packed layouts.

Use this property to prevent incorrect associations between labels and distant checkboxes.

Can be one of the following values:

The 'Mode' property determines how the OMR Reader interprets and outputs checkbox values.

• CheckOne: Only one box may be checked; outputs one instance per label, sorted by confidence.
• CheckMulti: Multiple boxes may be checked; outputs a single instance with all checked values, joined by the 'Separator String'.
• Boolean: Each label is associated with a single box; outputs 'Value If Checked' or 'Value If Unchecked' based on the box status.

Choose the mode that matches your form's design and data requirements.

The 'Separator String' property specifies how multiple checked values are joined in the output when 'Mode' is set to CheckMulti.

• Enter a string or escape sequence (e.g., , , \n).
• Use this to produce comma-separated, line-separated, or custom-formatted lists of checked values.

Example: Use , for a comma-separated list, or \n for line breaks.

The 'Value If Checked' property defines the output value when a checkbox is detected as checked in Boolean mode.

• Enter the string to use for checked boxes (e.g., True, Yes, Checked).
• This value is only used when 'Mode' is set to Boolean.

Example: Set to Yes to output "Yes" for checked boxes.

The 'Value If Unchecked' property defines the output value when a checkbox is detected as unchecked in Boolean mode.

• Enter the string to use for unchecked boxes (e.g., False, No, Unchecked).
• This value is only used when 'Mode' is set to Boolean.

Example: Set to No to output "No" for unchecked boxes.
