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. Benjamin > Dne 23. 02. 20 v 14:27 Matthis Rouch napsal(a): > > Hi!
