The marking problem

Give marking time back to the people who teach.

Every exam season, the same thing happens: a stack of 200 answer sheets lands on a teacher's desk, and the next few evenings disappear into bubble-checking, short-answer reading, and tallying totals. Manual marking is slow, tiring, and — even with the most careful hand — inconsistent between students and between markers.

For institutions that handle large cohorts — secondary schools, training providers, university faculties — that cost is real time and real money, paid by people who would rather be teaching.

Cloud-based AI grading tools promise a fix, but they ask schools to send student work and personal data to someone else's servers. For many institutions, that is a non-starter.

How it works

From printed page to reviewed gradebook.

1

Print the answer cards

Generate PDF cards in one of three layouts (A4 combined, A5 MCQ-only, A4 subjective-only). Print at 100% scale on a standard office printer.

2

Scan the stack

Hand them to an ADF scanner. The system accepts multi-page PDFs or JPG/PNG images. No special hardware needed.

3

Grade, on your machine

For each page, the system aligns it, reads the student profile, marks the 50 MCQ bubbles in ~0.1 s, and transcribes short answers with a local vision-language model. End-to-end: about 5 seconds per page.

4

Review and export

Open the offline Interactive Grader in any browser — cluster similar answers, override individual scores, then export a styled Excel gradebook with one click.

Built for real classrooms

A private workflow, from paper to results.

Runs on-premise

Your school owns the hardware, the data, and the schedule. The system works inside your network — or with no network at all.

Offline after installation

After the one-time model setup, grading requires zero internet. No cloud subscriptions, no API costs, no per-student fees.

Batch-grade a stack in minutes

ADF scanner workflow + batch processing: ~200 sheets in roughly 12–17 minutes on a recommended workstation.

Three ready-made answer cards

A4 combined (MCQ + short answers), A5 MCQ-only, A4 subjective-only — all generated as PDFs from the same engine that grades them.

Smart roster matching

Even with imperfect handwriting, the system matches scanned student IDs and names against your roster. Manual overrides are always available.

Privacy by design

No telemetry, no third-party APIs, no uploads. Student answer sheets, names, and scores stay on the machine that did the grading.

Answer cards

Three card layouts, one grading engine

The system ships with PDF generators for all three answer-card templates. Print them at 100% scale on standard A4 or A5 paper.

Combined Q1 to 70 A4 portrait answer card

Combined Q1–70 (A4 portrait)

50 MCQ questions plus 20 short-answer boxes on a single A4 page. The all-rounder for most secondary and tertiary exams.

MCQ only Q1 to 50 A5 landscape answer card

MCQ only Q1–50 (A5 landscape)

A half-page card for fast, high-volume MCQ tests. Smaller paper, same scanning reliability.

Subjective only Q1 to 30 A4 portrait answer card

Subjective only Q1–30 (A4 portrait)

For open-response exams and assignments. Thirty numbered short-answer boxes on a single A4 page.

Outputs

Review clearly. Export once.

Interactive Grader — offline, in your browser

Every batch produces a single self-contained HTML file. Open it in any modern browser — no internet needed. The grader groups similar short-answer responses, lets you score whole groups at once, and lets you override individual marks per student per question.

Excel gradebook — one click, offline

From the grader, export a styled Excel gradebook in your browser. Columns include course, student ID, student name, per-question scores, MCQ total, subjective total, and grand total. No data leaves the browser.

Audit-friendly per-page record

For each scanned page the system keeps: detected student profile (course/ID/name), MCQ answers as A/B/C/D/E/BLANK/MULTI, and the transcribed short-answer text. Override history stays with the file.

Hardware

A practical workstation, not a data centre.

A standard desktop PC with a CUDA-capable GPU and an A4 ADF scanner is the only hardware the school needs to provide.

Hardware requirements
SetupWhat you need
Recommended — production kioskA modest Windows or Linux PC with an NVIDIA RTX-class GPU (12 GB VRAM), 16 GB RAM, and an ADF scanner. This setup runs the full grading pipeline at the rated speed.
Minimum — development / small batchesA modern 6-core CPU, 16 GB RAM, and a 12 GB GPU. Older NVIDIA cards are supported — the system adjusts automatically.

Privacy & compliance

Student data stays on your hardware

NeuralMark runs as software on a machine your institution owns. Answer sheets are scanned, marked, and stored locally. No data is sent to NeuralMark or to any third party for processing.

No cloud, no telemetry, no third-party APIs

The grading pipeline is self-contained. The local vision-language model for short-answer transcription runs on your GPU — inference never leaves your network.

PDPA-aware by design

Because no personal data leaves the institution, the surface area for personal-data handling is small. You decide who can access the workstation, who keeps the scans, and when they are deleted.

Documentation for compliance review

We can provide a technical documentation pack covering architecture, data flow, and security posture, for institutions that need it for internal review or regulatory submission.

FAQ

Straight answers for your team.

Does the system really work without internet?

Yes — after the one-time model setup at installation, grading runs fully offline. The Interactive Grader is also a self-contained HTML file that opens in any browser with no network access.

What hardware do we need?

A modern PC with an NVIDIA GPU of around 12 GB VRAM, 16 GB RAM, and an A4 ADF scanner. Older NVIDIA cards are supported. We are happy to confirm compatibility for your specific machine.

Will it work with our existing answer sheets?

The system grades its own three card layouts (A4 combined, A5 MCQ-only, A4 subjective-only). If your institution prints those cards, the system will grade them. For older or locally-modified prints, the system has a calibration pass that adapts to slight geometry differences.

How accurate is the short-answer transcription?

Short answers are transcribed by a local vision-language model. Handwriting varies — the grading UI is built for human review, with similarity-based grouping and per-student overrides. You always have the final say.

How is student data protected?

All grading happens on a machine your institution owns. No data is sent to NeuralMark or to any third party. You decide how long scans and gradebooks are retained.

What support do you provide?

We assist with installation, hardware compatibility checks, and onboarding for your first batch. Reach us on WhatsApp or by email.
