Modification of OCR code for Exam Evaluation System

Hi Friends, We are looking for coders who are experts in VB, MS Access and OCR technology to apply following changes in our exsisting developed system for answer sheet evaluation. The exisiting software is using OCR technology and is divided in 2 parts i.e. Printer application and Scanner application. The printer application encodes candidate info in the barcode and prints along with above student details at predefined locations. The scanner application reads the scanned images of answersheets, identifies the barcode using the above database, scans the answers marked using OCR and gets the results. The current scanning application works only with color images of scanned answersheets which reduces the speed of scanner. We are looking for following changes to be implemented in the current code; 1> The scanner application should read black & white, Gray scale scanned images in addition to color images. 2> Negative marking for each question should be a part of the scanner side application. This needs corresponding changes in exisiting database structure. 3> Minor changes like renaming the result column to remark and leaving it blank while printing the results sheet, on scanner side. 4> Minor changes in printer like drop down menu for categories getting data from category column in the database in manual entry section. Complete source code developed along with the database structure will be provided. We will also supply you with the answersheet images as attached one. (structure of this answer sheet cannot be changed) We do not want to change the look or appearance or any other functionality of the current software. We will be needing the complete bug free modified code of the new application. As this requirement is urgent hence only serious coders should bid. Regards, Vikas V. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
