Batch pre-check
Inspect folder-name prefixes, unexpected nested folders and JPG/TIF counts before processing starts.
A Windows-based processing console that brings batch checks, OMR recognition, barcode decoding, optional contact extraction, image compression and structured export into one monitored workflow.
CRATOR addresses the operational steps surrounding recognition—not only the bubble-reading engine. It helps teams prepare incoming batches, run selected programs, monitor progress and open the finished outputs.
Inspect folder-name prefixes, unexpected nested folders and JPG/TIF counts before processing starts.
Use marker-based alignment with crop-quality checks and retry through the configured no-marker template when required.
Read configured response fields and barcode metadata from prepared image batches on the local Windows machine.
Support conventional fills and selected thin-mark styles while separating failed or multi-marked sheets for review.
Send only the configured contact-information crop to Gemini and keep successful OMR output when the connected module fails or stops.
Create final CSV output, optional Microsoft Access output and compressed JPG copies when selected.
CRATOR brings the supporting checks and processing stages into one monitored console.
Inspect folder naming, nested folders and JPG/TIF counts before processing begins.
Select OMR, contact extraction, JPG compression or the required combination.
Run local recognition and barcode decoding while tracking each selected program separately.
Receive final CSV output, optional Access output and compressed JPG copies where selected.
The distinction matters for deployment, privacy and procurement. Core OMR and file operations remain local; Gemini contact extraction is a separate connected module.
Folder checks, image preparation, OMR recognition, barcode decoding, compression and CSV generation run on the user’s Windows computer.
When contact extraction is enabled, only the configured contact-information crop is encoded and sent to the Google Gemini API.
CRATOR is Windows-oriented. Gemini requires internet and an API key. Microsoft Access output requires Access or the Access Database Engine; CSV remains the baseline output.
CRATOR is designed for organisations processing prepared OMR image batches and needing controlled, structured output.
