Sounds interesting. Has anyone ever tried it?

I added a reference to https://sdaps.org, in the hope that it may be
useful for some people. I have no idea how good the tool is though.


In principle, one could try to integrate something like this with
SDAPS. It would require a number of things though:

 1. Adding a module to detecting a page based on arbitrary features
 2. Having a UI that extract such features and allows selecting
    answer checkboxes
 3. Creating a setup routine that feeds the information into SDAPS

I guess RescueOMR might already solve most of the above. That said, I
am not planning to work on this and I don't expect this feature to be
added to SDAPS.
