An optical reader is a device that observes visual information and translates it into digital information,[1] as found within most image and barcode and matrix-code scanners.
An example of optical readers are marksense systems for elections where voters mark their choice by filling a rectangle, circle, or oval, or by completing an arrow. After the voting a tabulating device reads the votes using "dark mark logic", whereby the computer selects the darkest mark within a given set as the intended choice or vote.
