OCR recognises letters, numerals, punctuation, and related communication symbols. Its main use is for getting printed text into a form that can be manipulated by a word processor or similar computer program.

OMR recognises the presence or absence of marks in pre-determined positions on a sheet of paper. It is what is used for automatically marking multiple choice exams, collating results from surveys and census etc.
