CRATOR

OMR and document processing

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.

Capabilities

One console for the work around OMR processing.

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.

01

Batch pre-check

Inspect folder-name prefixes, unexpected nested folders and JPG/TIF counts before processing starts.

02

Marker and no-marker processing

Use marker-based alignment with crop-quality checks and retry through the configured no-marker template when required.

03

OMR and barcode recognition

Read configured response fields and barcode metadata from prepared image batches on the local Windows machine.

04

Exception-aware handling

Support conventional fills and selected thin-mark styles while separating failed or multi-marked sheets for review.

05

Optional contact extraction

Send only the configured contact-information crop to Gemini and keep successful OMR output when the connected module fails or stops.

06

Operational output

Create final CSV output, optional Microsoft Access output and compressed JPG copies when selected.

Operational flow

From prepared image batch to usable output.

CRATOR brings the supporting checks and processing stages into one monitored console.

01

Check the batch

Inspect folder naming, nested folders and JPG/TIF counts before processing begins.

02

Choose the work

Select OMR, contact extraction, JPG compression or the required combination.

03

Process and monitor

Run local recognition and barcode decoding while tracking each selected program separately.

04

Open the output

Receive final CSV output, optional Access output and compressed JPG copies where selected.

Deployment and data boundary

Local core. Optional connected extraction.

The distinction matters for deployment, privacy and procurement. Core OMR and file operations remain local; Gemini contact extraction is a separate connected module.

01

What stays local

Folder checks, image preparation, OMR recognition, barcode decoding, compression and CSV generation run on the user’s Windows computer.

02

What uses Gemini

When contact extraction is enabled, only the configured contact-information crop is encoded and sent to the Google Gemini API.

03

What the environment needs

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.

Practical applications

Where CRATOR can fit.

CRATOR is designed for organisations processing prepared OMR image batches and needing controlled, structured output.
