Example of use: exams.

Ever had those multiple choice exams where you had to put a thick pen line between two marks, for either A, B, C or D?

All of those marks are then on a sheet of paper. This paper can be fed into a scanner, and software on the computer can read which lines are matched with which question number and which answer letter.

Much faster than doing it by hand.

The most familiar use of this kind of input is the entry form for the UK lotto where you mark your numbers with a thick line.
