About OMaR9000
OMaR 9000 makes life easier for teachers, researchers, and businesses by allowing them to read pen-and-paper surveys or assessments from any home or office scanner, and then interact with the data using simple web-based tools.
How it Works
You don’t need expensive optical mark scanners, special paper, or advanced computer skills to use OMaR9000, just a home or office scanner with a document feeder and an internet connection. You can create your survey in any word processor, use one of our pre-made templates, or the standard assessments provided by your school district. And instead of working with complicated software interfaces, you can just upload a PDF straight to the OMaR9000 website, where after a little training our OMaR’s algorithms will read the data into our easy to use analytical tools. You can also export your files to Microsoft Excel to analyze in other applications – it’s your data, use it however you want.
OMaR9000 has other features to help teachers and businesses make the most out of their data.
How It’s Used
OMaR9000 can be used anywhere you need to collect data, but can’t use a computer to do it. Potential uses include:
- Data driven instruction for elementary education
- Feedback on seminars, events, and conferences
- Inexpensively gather customer data
- Generate actionable sales leads
How Much Does It Cost?
We’re still working out specific prices, but we’ll have a basic free version with additional features available for a small annual fee that’s a small fraction of what most competitors charge. We’ll also have professional services to help businesses or schools integrate OMaR9000 within their organizations.
When Can I Have It?
We’re conducting a closed Beta from January through June of 2010 to work out some of the kinks. After that we’ll open OMaR9000 up to the world. If you’re interested in participating in our Beta, send an e-mail to david@omar9000.com.
