Smart Paper in the field

Accessible to all students.

Smart Paper provides equitable assessment opportunities to all students regardless of digital access. Students use familiar pen and paper, removing technology barriers.

"Using these AI-based results (from Smart Paper), this will be the first time that we will be able to use the data of learning levels and nudge the teachers that their children are struggling in [a particular] competency… and pay special attention to them."

— Gaurav Agrawal (IAS), Former Director of Secondary Education, Rajasthan

Why Smart Paper

Built for exams at any scale.

MCQ digitisation

Our advanced AI digitises tickmark-based multiple choice tests with high accuracy. Students simply mark their answers with a pen, and our system processes them instantly.

Equitable implementation

Consistently administer exams in all classrooms. Stop worrying about internet connectivity during exams. Smart Paper ensures the exam is conducted in the same manner for everyone.

Low technology requirement

Smart exams require a printer, scanner, and one computer at the exam centre. No need for one computer per student, or calling students on different days.

Mobile capture

Our robust computer vision engine works with old and new phones with various camera lenses. Photo processing happens in the cloud for a glitch-free experience.

Immediate results

When Smart Paper assessments are scanned, instant results are produced. Sheets can be scanned using any standard scanner without sending them to a central location.

Transparency

Add transparency to your exam system. Every submission captures the original photo of the exam paper and makes data available to each stakeholder transparently.
