Why are OMR developed? How did they helped?

Why are MICR developed? How did they helped?

MICR (magnetic ink character recognition) is a technology used to verify the legitimacy or originality of paper documents, especially checks. Special ink, which is sensitive to magnetic fields, is used in the printing of certain characters on the original documents. Information can be encoded in the magnetic characters

MICR (often pronounced micker) is used mainly by the banking industry. A benefit of MICR over other computer-readable information such as bar codes is that humans are able to read MICR. The two MICR fonts that are used worldwide are E-13B and CMC-7. These unique fonts are used to help computers recognize the characters and limit check fraud.

>This techonology is useful for applications in which large numbers of hard-filled forms need to be processed quickly and with great accuracy ,such as surveys, reply cards can be done using OMR scanner or an imaging scanner.

OMR software is a computer software application that makes OMR possible on a

desktop computer

By using an image scanner

OMR software is also used to capture data from OMR sheets.

While data capturing scanning devices focus on many factors like thickness of paper dimensions of OMR sheet

and designing patterns .

What is the underlying technology that power them?

>MICR laser printers and OEM toner cartridges are engineered specifically for MICR printing.

>MICR toner is used for checks, WIC vouchers, and other negotiable documents. The solution includes extensive security features, MICR fonts and toners all designed to optimize the performance of our printers. Decades of research, development and testing have been put into our products resulting in a solution that produces secure MICR documents of the highest quality using blank check stock.
