The Challenge

The Bee needed a cost-effective, scalable solution to test all spellers at once in a larger venue, provide quick feedback, and turn the preliminaries into an exciting, live event for families and media.

What We Did

Deployed high-speed desktop OMR scanners and custom forms, enabling all spellers to test simultaneously while storing digital images of forms for easy communication of results.

We went from about 4 hours down to 40 minutes... that turned it into more of an event.
