Scan physical questionnaires
After logging in to Saral App, you can select your class, section, subject, and paper set and
mark your students
as either
present or absent
. Tapping the “Next” button will bring you to the “Summary Page” where you’ll be able to
scan test papers
using your device’s camera.
Once scanned, it will show the question number and the answer for each one. The above-mentioned page also displays the total student count,
submitted scans
, and the number of present and
unsubmitted scans
. One caveat of this app is that the
scanner
does not work
all the time
.
Has consistency issues
Saral app leverages OCR technology to scan and convert answers on a physical test paper into electronic form, though its biggest drawback is the scanner’s failure to maintain consistent functionality. Moreover, this program also needs a password and user ID in order for educators to use it.
