Frequently asked questions

No. Markscanner drafts marks and per-question comments, but every result is editable and nothing is finalised until you approve it. It’s a review-and-approve workflow, not blind automation.

Yes, that’s the core of how Markscanner is designed. Low-confidence and ambiguous answers are flagged for your attention, and you can adjust any mark or comment before generating the final feedback sheet.

Handwritten math is what Markscanner is built for. It reads the student’s work, considers the steps and the final answer, and applies your rubric question by question.

Yes. Partial credit is applied at the sub-question level, so a student who sets up a question correctly but makes an arithmetic slip later on doesn’t lose the whole mark. Different valid forms — factored vs. expanded, mixed vs. improper, equivalent equations — are treated as equivalent where your rubric allows it.

Markscanner is designed for real student work, including messy pages. When it isn’t confident about what a student wrote, it flags the answer for your review rather than guessing silently.

Algebra, quadratic functions, graphing, multi-step problems, quizzes, and chapter tests are where Markscanner is strongest today. If you’re not sure whether your assessment fits, book a demo and we’ll take a look with you.

Scanned PDFs and common image formats. If you can scan a class set from a photocopier, phone camera, or document scanner, it’ll work.

Yes. After you approve the grades, Markscanner generates a clean one-page feedback sheet per student — grade, per-question comments, strengths, and next steps — that you can print and staple to the returned paper.

Yes. You can download a CSV of the class results to drop into whatever gradebook you already use. No proprietary integration to set up.

All three. Individual teachers and private tutors can sign up directly for $49 CAD / month. Schools, departments, and tutoring centres typically prefer to book a demo so we can walk through how it fits your specific workflow.

No free trial. Markscanner is $49 CAD / month for individual teachers, and you can cancel anytime. We’d rather be upfront about what it costs than build the price into a countdown.

$49 CAD / month for individual teachers. School and department pricing is handled through a demo conversation so we can match access to your class counts and roster structure.

Yes. No contract, no minimum term. Cancel from your account whenever the school year wraps up.

Yes — book a demo and we’ll walk through what makes sense for a department or whole-school rollout.

Scanned student work is sent to the grading model for the purpose of marking and is not used to train AI models. You can delete uploaded work from your account when you’re done with an assessment.

Markscanner is built by a Canadian team in London, Ontario.
