* The sources can be transformed into OMR forms by using DOM, SAX, XSLT and XSL-FO.
* The OMR forms can be published as PDF files through embedded FO processor with pre-configured TrueType fonts.
* Internationalized: English and Japanese localized resources are available.

* Latest development spapshot version Download: http://bit.ly/KLX1k8
* Stable version Download: "SourceEditor-2.1-SNAPSHOT.jar":http://sqs2.net/2012/05/23/SourceEditor-2.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

h3. SQS MarkReader2.1 (Latest Development Snapshot Version)

!reader.gif!
* An OMR processor, which processes images of scanned forms, extracts answers from them, calculates statistical results(ex. Excel and CSV spreadsheet files, pie and bar charts).
* The OMR runs in distributed parallel processes based on loosely coupled cluster computing subsystem, with zero configuration. The distributed parallel processes recognize each other through IP multicast.
* The OMR results can be browsed and edited through iTunes like AJAX user interfaces.
* The operators can enter questionnaire item texts of free answer areas manually.
* Internationalized: English and Japanese localized resources are available.
