MarkScanner

Try it out

Try MarkScanner on your own quiz.

Before you sign up for anything, send us one quiz and we’ll mark it for you. Free, no account, results back in a couple of days. The point is to let you see exactly what MarkScanner produces, on materials you actually use.

What I need from you

Three things to send

A blank copy of the test

A PDF, a scan, or clear photos. Just the test, no answers filled in.

Why So MarkScanner can read the questions and set up the rubric the way it would for any teacher.

The answer key

A version of the test with the correct answers and full marks shown. Your typed solutions work, or a fresh copy you wrote the answers on by hand and photographed.

Why This is what tells the AI what 'right' looks like for each question.

Your students' work

Scans or clear photos of the completed papers, up to one class (about 35 students). Names are optional: cover them, or use initials or student numbers, if you or your board prefer.

Why These are the papers I'll actually mark. Whatever label is on each paper, a name, initials, or a number, is how its results come back to you.

Accepted formats: PDF, JPG, PNG, HEIC (iPhone photos). Don’t worry about perfect scans. Well-lit photos of each page work fine.

What you'll get back

Three real outputs

A feedback PDF for each student

One printable sheet per student showing their score, marks per question, and what the AI noticed about their working. Read them over before you hand them back, and tell us if you would mark anything differently.

A class CSV

A spreadsheet with every student's name, total mark, and per-question marks. Drop it into your gradebook.

A class summary

A short rundown of how the whole class did, including which questions tripped up the most students. Useful for deciding what to reteach.

The same outputs MarkScanner produces in the app, on your own quiz, with zero setup. What you won’t see this way is the part where you approve the rubric and review the drafts yourself. That’s what the free trial is for.

How to send it

Email us your quiz.

Click the button below and your email client will open with a pre-filled message and a checklist for the three attachments. Hit send. We’ll reply with a confirmation and, if your files are too big for email, a secure upload link you can drop them into.

  • We’ll reply within 24–48 hours during the school week. Sometimes a bit longer in busy stretches, and we’ll always tell you when to expect results.
  • If your class set is too large to email (most are), just send the request first and we’ll send back a secure upload link.
  • One class per teacher, up to about 35 papers. (We can talk if you want to send more later.)

How we handle your materials

What happens to what you send

When you send us a sample, here’s exactly what happens to your materials.

This is a small operation. Your materials come to me, not into a corporate inbox.

Oscar ONeill, founder. If you’d rather skip the form and email me directly, that works too: hello@markscanner.ca.

The same posture covers your account if you sign up later. See the plain-language trust page or the full privacy policy for the formal version.

Why we offer this

The honest reason

MarkScanner is new. The fastest way to show you it works is on a quiz you actually use, not a fake one we made up. And honestly, we learn a lot from every sample. Teachers find edge cases we never would. So this isn’t quite as one-sided as it sounds. We get to make the product better; you get a graded class set and a real look at what you’d be signing up for.

Questions

What teachers usually ask

What if my students' handwriting is hard to read?
That’s a fair test, so send it. If MarkScanner can’t read something, we’ll tell you, and tell you what we think we could do about it. The point of the sample is for you to see real performance, not a polished demo.
What if my quiz isn't purely math?
MarkScanner is built for math. Working, diagrams, short answers, multi-step questions: all fine. Long essay-style answers aren’t well supported yet. If you’re not sure, just send it; we’ll be honest about what worked and what didn’t.
Can I send more than one class?
Let’s start with one. If it goes well and you’d like to send more, we can talk. The cap exists so we can stay responsive to everyone who reaches out.
How long until I get results?
24–48 hours during the school week; sometimes a bit longer if we’re slammed. We’ll always tell you when to expect them when we confirm receipt.
Do I have to sign up afterward?
Nope. No strings, no follow-up sales sequence. If you like what you see, the next step is a free trial in your own account, and we’ll help you set it up. If not, no harm done.
Can I actually use the graded sheets with my class?
Yes. The feedback PDFs are real outputs, and the CSV imports into most gradebooks. Read the sheets before you hand them back: if you’d mark something differently, tell us and we’ll change it.
What if I don't have an answer key written up?
Write the answers on a fresh copy of the test by hand and photograph it. Works as well as a typed one.
