1. A system for digitizing and extracting information from a sheet of material, the system comprising:
a sheet of material having a plurality of subregions, the sheet including a plurality of fiducial marks adjacent a periphery of the sheet and further including a plurality of indicators each corresponding with at least one of the plurality of subregions; and
a device including a processor, communication circuitry, a memory, and an optical sensor, the processor of the device operably coupled to the communication circuitry, the memory, and the optical sensor and configured to cause the optical sensor to scan the sheet and generate an image thereof,
wherein the processor is further configured to detect a boundary of the sheet based at least in part on detection of the fiducial marks, wherein the processor is further configured to identify a designated subregion based at least in part on detection of at least one marked indicator corresponding with the designated subregion and extract information from the designated subregion, and wherein the processor is further configured to detect multiple, sequentially marked indicators of the plurality of indicators and extract information from each subregion corresponding with those marked indicators as a single image.
