What is OMR / MCQ Answer Sheet Reader?

OMR / MCQ Answer Sheet Reader prints a bubble template for the question and option counts you choose (A–D or A–E), takes your answer key, and scores a photo or camera frame of a filled sheet in this browser. Faint, double or low-confidence bubbles are flagged for review; blank items are never guessed as an answer. This reads filled bubbles on the provided template only — it is not handwriting OCR, not a commercial Scantron bureau and not a live classroom clicker. Photos are decoded in this tab and are not uploaded. Pro mode adds negative marking, a confidence threshold, manual corrections and a batch of several photos.
