Everything the software does, platform by platform.

Answer-sheet design, reading, marking, candidate registers and exports. The table at the end shows exactly which features are on Windows and which on Android.

Main features

Sheets drawn for the exam in front of you

Set 1 to 200 questions, 3 to 6 options, a roll-number grid and a sheet number. The layout shrinks the bubbles as the sheet fills, so 200 questions still fit one A4 page.

  • Title, subtitle and your own fields
  • Sheet numbers 001 to 999 for duplicate checks
  • Windows: PNG at 600 DPI or PDF of up to 20 numbered sheets
A 200-question answer sheet with five options per question, laid out in five columns on one A4 page.

Reads photos and scans that are not perfect

The four corner markers are located and the page is straightened before a single bubble is read, so a sheet photographed at an angle or under a shadow is measured in the right place.

  • Perspective correction from the corner markers
  • Corners placed by hand when one cannot be proven
  • Checked against a set of rotated, shadowed and low-quality sheet images

Marks with negative marking and per-question values

Give every question its own mark for a correct answer and its own deduction for a wrong one, or leave negative marking off and each correct answer counts 1.

  • Answer key typed in, or read from a filled reference sheet on Windows
  • Two marks on a question and blanks flagged
  • Every candidate’s answers open for review

How the grading engine is checked.

The engine is tested against sheet images made hard on purpose: rotated, shadowed, cropped and low quality. These are the results from the most recent run, on 4 September 2026.

Corner decisions
180 of 180 right

45 damaged sheet images, four corners each. A corner that could not be proven was refused, never guessed.

Answers checked
3,650 on 34 sheets

No answer was read as a confident wrong letter. The few misreads were all flagged for review as two marks or blank.

Mark calculations
102 of 102 agree

Every score was compared with an independent calculator written from the marking rules.

Results on the test images, not a promise for every sheet: printing, filling and scanning all affect a real read, which is why flagged sheets are always shown to you.

Windows and Android, feature by feature.

Checked against the source of both apps. Where a platform does a thing differently, the table says how.
