Making Exam Grading Simple, Fast, and Accessible

LearnIQ is an education technology platform that brings AI-powered OMR sheet grading to every school and coaching centre. Our mission is to eliminate the tedious, error-prone process of manual answer sheet evaluation and replace it with instant, accurate, digital grading that works from any smartphone.

Our Story

In schools and coaching centres across India, teachers spend countless hours manually checking OMR answer sheets. Traditional OMR scanner machines cost lakhs of rupees, putting them out of reach for most institutions. We saw an opportunity to solve this problem using modern AI and computer vision technology.

LearnIQ was built with a simple idea: any teacher with a smartphone should be able to grade an entire class's exam papers in minutes, not hours. Our platform uses advanced image processing algorithms powered by OpenCV and optical character recognition to detect filled bubbles from a phone camera photo, compare them against stored answer keys, and generate detailed results instantly.

Today, LearnIQ supports exam templates for multiple boards including CBSE, ICSE, and various state boards. Teachers can create custom exam configurations, grade sheets in real time, and share answer keys publicly for student self-assessment. All of this is available for free.

Technology

How Our OMR Grading Technology Works

LearnIQ combines multiple AI and computer vision technologies to deliver accurate grading from smartphone photos:

1
Image Capture and Pre-processing

When you upload a photo, our system first detects the sheet boundaries using contour detection. It then applies perspective transformation to correct for any angle or tilt, and enhances contrast and brightness to ensure consistent bubble detection regardless of lighting conditions.

2
Optical Mark Recognition

Using OpenCV's computer vision algorithms, the system identifies the grid of answer bubbles and measures the fill intensity of each one. Filled bubbles are distinguished from empty ones using threshold-based analysis of pixel density, ensuring accurate detection even with varying pen pressures and marking styles.

3
Answer Key Comparison and Scoring

Detected answers are matched against the pre-configured answer key stored in our database. The system generates a per-question breakdown showing which answers were correct, which were incorrect, and calculates the total score. Results are delivered in real time, typically within 2-5 seconds of upload.
