Most of the organizations rely largely on data collection for their operations. This data is usually captured in the paper forms. Central Board of Secondary Education affiliated schools in India, uses paper admission forms to collect student data. Getting data of form and subsequently digitizing them by data entry is a traditional way to maintain a record keeping system. In this system digitizing data directly send to user who manage school database and will help them gain invaluable insights about their schools. As an alternative to paper forms online forms are gaining momentum. But online forms require wireless network access and established IT infrastructure which may not be easily available everywhere. In such cases, paper forms provide ease of use and can be distributed conveniently. Paper forms have more truth value attached to them as compared to online forms as it is easy to identify and authenticate the person filling the paper form. The problem with data collected using paper forms is aggregation and analysis. In order to convert data into machine readable form, a data entry operator is needed to feed data from paper forms into the system, which is dull and error-prone. In this paper we present a system named DMR (Digitize Manage Record). It is a desktop application developed using java technology and IDE Net Beans 8.2 with my SQL server database. It processes the image of admission form either capture by camera of any android mobile phone or from other image capture source. It accepts an image of a filled form and extracts filled information according to the template previously generated. The captured image of the empty form which is used by the DMR application to generate a template of the form.
