Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) are a cornerstone of terminal examinations and admission tests across Bangladesh. However, traditional specialized optical mark readers cost hundreds of thousands of taka and require sensitive, proprietary paper stock.
AURA's Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) software engine changes the game: 1. **Design on Plain Paper**: Create customized 20, 50, or 100-question answer sheet layouts printed on regular A4 paper using any office laser printer. 2. **Scan on Standard Office Scanners**: Feed batches of completed answer sheets through any standard high-speed ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) scanner into PDF or TIFF batches. 3. **Computer Vision Bubble Detection**: AURA's computer vision algorithm detects student roll barcodes, bubble fills, double-markings, and faint erasures with 99.98% accuracy. 4. **Item Analysis & Immediate Tabulation**: In addition to computing student scores, the engine generates an item difficulty index and discrimination analysis — showing teachers which questions the majority struggled with.
Every scanned image is digitally archived in the student's academic record, allowing parents and teachers to review the exact scanned answer sheet during grade inquiries.
