Entering marks from checked papers is a different job from assessing answers. SkoolPro OCR helps with the entry stage by reading the student name, roll number and awarded marks visible on a paper. The teacher remains responsible for matching the record and checking the value before it is stored.
Before you begin
Select the right class, section, subject, test date and total marks. Use a photo where the identifying fields and awarded marks are legible. Keep the original checked paper nearby.
How the workflow works
1. Set up the test
Choose the class, section, subject, date and total marks first, so the scanned values belong to the correct assessment.
2. Scan the paper
Capture the part of the checked paper containing the name, roll number and awarded marks. Keep shadows and blur away from these fields.
3. Check the match
Compare the suggested student and score with the original paper. Correct the fields before accepting the record.
4. Save the result
Save the reviewed marks to the test record. Use the result-sharing workflow when you are ready to send results to parents.
A practical school example
Ali has 18 out of 20 on a marked science test. OCR reads the paper heading and suggests the matching record. His teacher compares the suggested student and score with the original, corrects any mismatch, then saves the result.
What to check before relying on the result
OCR reads existing marks; it does not independently decide whether an answer is correct. A blurry digit or a duplicate name needs teacher correction. Manual entry remains useful when a paper cannot be read.
Try the workflow with your school team
Use the animated example on this page to walk through ocr test scanner & marks review with the staff or family members who will use it. The illustration uses sample data; it does not log into a school or change any records. When reviewing the real workflow, check the intended school, person and date before saving or sharing information.
