HODA Tools

OMR Studio helps you to capture data from test, survey and other OMRable forms. Using OMR Studio, you are able to eliminate manual data entry, reduce time and cost of data entry and increase data accuracy.

OMR Studio is designed to handle data collection and data analysis requirements in educational institutions, governmental organizations, medical clinics, laboratories, hospitals, industrial factories and business such as banks, insurances, marketing researches and other users on different levels.

HODA Tools package consists of a set of software modules that satisfy all of your needs when using OMR devices. Using HODA Tools package you can design and print OMR forms to distribute between destination populations. Also you can define the layout of the OMR forms for axiome readers and finally read data from filled forms and analyze the results.

HODA Tools packages includes:

FormDesigner (HFD) a tool to design and print OMR forms TemplateEditor (HTE) a tool to define the layout of the OMR forms OMR Studio the main tool of the package to do all OMR jobs such as reading the OMR forms, manipulating data, analyzing data and generating reports Test Analyser (HTA)SurveyAnalyser (HAS)

Some of Hoda Tools-Reader software Specifications:

Configure the Optical Mark Readers and read data from forms Export data to CSV text files and known databases includes dbsae, Foxpro, Paradox and Microsoft Access(*.mdb) to be later post-processed

efficiency How Does HODA Tools work?

Step 1: Design and Print OMR forms Design the OMR forms in a user friendly environment, using HODATools- FormDesigner (HFD) module. Insert texts, images, rectangles, circles and lines as well as OMR windows. The program will adjust the OMR windows positions according to the OMR ruler, automatically. Finally send the designed form directly to the printer or save it for later use. Step 2: Define the layout of the forms Define OMR form layout, using HODA Tools-TemplateEditor (HTE) module. Various OMR windows and barcodes can be defined for both front and back sides of the OMR form. Define rejection criteria and data entry conditions to streamline the capture process. Step 3: Introduce the OMR machine to the OMR Studio

Connect the Axiome OMR device to your PC and introduce it to OMR Studio. Specify the device peripherals including OMR heads, barcode heads and printer. Program the printer to print your desired information on the read forms such as sequence numbers. Step 4: Create a worksheet and read OMR forms Create a new worksheet in OMR Studio. put forms on the input tray and start reading forms. Step 5: Analyze data, create reports and publish results Specify your collected data as test or survey. Based on the data type, specify your analysis options. Analyze question responses using Item Statistics and Item Analysis reports. Analyze the respondent results in detail and summary formats using Respondent Detail and Respondent Summary reports. Compute the score distribution for all respondents take part in the test and calculate the cross tabulation for each pair of questions in survey. For each generated report, you can save the data to Xml,Text, Excel or database tables and you can send the print layout to word, exel, pdf, html, text and image. TestAnalyser There are different types of analysis reports for test sheets: Item Statistics Item Analysis

Respondent Report Respondent Item Analysis Respondent Detail Respondent Summary

Item Statistics: In this analysis some statistical values such as the frequency of field and missed answers, average, variance, standard deviation, standard error, Min, Max, Mean, range, Sum of values and some of values SQRT will be calculated for each question in the test.

Item Analysis: In this analysis users can see more details about each question. It shows the frequency of each of the answers, correct answers, wrong answers, how many respondents didn’t answer the question and how many double answers there were. User also is able to view the results by line charts, bar charts, pie charts or area charts. Respondent Item Analysis: This analysis is the visual representation of the worksheet. Each row relates to a respondent and shows the whole test sheet. Respondent Detail: Respondent Detail shows the total value of each respondent in a group of questions (that was specified in HTE), the number of right, wrong, missed and double answers, score and the grade if score scales were specified in Analysis Options. Respondent Summary: Respondent Summary shows the value, the number of right, wrong, missed and double answers, score and grade for each student based on the whole questions in the test. Survey Analysis Survey analysis reports it similar to Test Analysis in most cases but there are a few differences. These reports are: Item Statistics Item Analysis

Here users can also view the result on bar charts, pie charts, line charts and area charts. Respondent Detail: Respondent Detail shows the statistical values of the questions for each target like the frequency of answers, the total value and score for each question, average, variance and standard deviation. Respondent Summary: Respondent Summary shows the answers frequency based on all questions and the total value and total grade, for each target. Cross Tabulation: In this analysis users can compare two questions with each other, to analyze the co-relation between them. TemplateEditor HODATools TemplateEditor (HTE) is for defining the layout of the OMR Forms. Various OMR windows and barcodes can be defined for both front and back sides of an OMR form. User can also define the rejection criteria and data entry conditions to streamline the capture process.

Line Window: The Line window type is frequently used in OMR questionnaires. It is defined for test questions. Each line of the window produces only one data item to write in output data file. Column Window: The column data type is useful to capture some character or numerical values like names, families and ID Numbers. Each column of the window, produce a data item, to write in output data file. Single Select Window: In Single Select window type, only one bubble must be filled. So, this window produces only one data item to save in the output data file. This is a useful window type to get some special fields from OMR questionnaires, like gender (Female or Male, Only one of them must be filled). Multiple Select Window: In Multiple Select window type, filling more than one bubble of the window bubbles is possible. So, this window produces N data items to save in the output data file while N is the number of window's bubbles. Binary window: Binary window means that the data will be calculated as a binary digit. This window is sufficient for fields like student id and serial numbers. User Defined Rules You can define some rules in HTE. In this case HODA Tools, will apply your rules to the data read from documents, and will do the appropriate actions based on your conditions. There are two types of rules: 1. Data Entry List: rules to allow the user, enter data for missed items during reading procedure. 2. Condition List: rules to reject invalid forms without saving the corresponding data.

FormDesigner HODATools FormDesigner (HFD) is a user friendly environment for designing OMR Forms simple and fast. Users can place text Rectangle Ellipse Line Image and also OMR bubbles On the form easily. Designing forms with OMR Studio lets you not worry about the OMR ruler standards, positioning the timing marks, adjusting the bubbles and any other difficulties that traditional OMR form designing had. With HFD you can easily set the bubbles border color, text color, background color, and every thing related to the design of the bubble blocks. Users can change the bubble’s shapes; specify the text inside the bubbles, text orientation, bubbles color and any other desired properties for OMR windows, timing marks and all objects on the form.
