Python & Optical Mark Recognition

[Larry Bates]

Anybody out there done anything with Optical
Mark Recognition (OMR)? I have a potential project
that requires OMR add-in for existing Windows
based Python application.

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps you mean Optical Character Recognition (OCR). There are various
free packages for OCR in languages other than Python. Here's one in C
that includes source:

Get a copy of SWIG, wrap it up, and you should be good to go.
