Got 40 scripts to mark this weekend? Let MarkSure do the first round.
I taught before I went into IT, so I know what a stack of scripts does to a Sunday. Scan the class set, upload it with your memo, and MarkSure reads the handwriting, puts the ticks on the page and adds it all up. Anything that needs your judgement gets flagged.

A sample Grade 5 test, with each tick and cross exactly where MarkSure put it.
We tested it on a real Grade 5 maths exam. It gave 36 out of 50, the same as the teacher.
The exam was 9 handwritten pages, scanned and marked against the school's own memo. We ran it more than once and got the same mark every time. It does 6 scripts at once, at about 40 seconds a script, so a class set doesn't queue while you get on with something else.
A real screen recording of three scripts, from upload to mark book. The waiting is sped up where the video says so. Results depend on scan quality and the memo, which is why you always get the final say.
You don't have to check every question.
After marking, MarkSure goes through each answer against your memo a second time. If the two agree, that question is done. If it needs a teacher's judgement, it lands on your list with the reason next to it.
Lerato M. · Grade 6 Maths
29 questions
It checked 26 questions on its own and none of those were wrong. It left these 3 for the teacher:
| Question | Mark | Why it was flagged |
|---|---|---|
| 19 | 1/2 | Partial marks: one factor missing |
| 24 | 1/1 | Different wording from the memo |
| 27 | 0/1 | “pyramid” vs “triangular pyramid” |
A real DBE Grade 6 Mathematics exemplar (ANA 2013), questions 1–29, filled in by hand, scanned and marked with the official memo. Essays and letters are always left for you to check.
The ticks go on the learner's own script.
You get a tick for every mark earned and a cross where one was lost, right next to the answer, so you can read through it like a colleague's marking.
A 2-mark answer shows two ticks. If you disagree, drag a tick to move it, double-click to flip it or right-click to remove it. There's a cover page with the total and every section total, and you can download the marked script as a PDF to print or hand back.

It marks essays and letters too.
Upload the task and your rubric instead of a memo. It reads the whole piece, whether that's an essay, letter, email, speech or report, marks each criterion on your rubric and underlines errors with the codes your learners already know.

Not sure how to split your paper into sections?
Upload your memo or question paper. MarkSure finds the sections and questions with their marks, checks that they add up to the paper total, and shows you all of it before anything is added.
- 1Read it from my memoSections or questions straight off your paper, in a few seconds.
- 2Use a common layoutCAPS content areas for Maths, a language paper layout, Section A and B.
- 3One mark for the whole paperJust the total. Split it later if you want.
What one class set costs you.
Say you have 40 scripts at about 5 minutes each by hand. Here's where the time goes.

That's about 3 hours back for every class set. Across 4 classes and 3 assessments, it's roughly 35 hours a term.
Estimate: 5 minutes per script by hand. In MarkSure, about 20 seconds a script to look at the flagged questions. On our real DBE paper, 3 of 29 questions were flagged.
The stats your HOD asks for, in one Excel file.
You get averages, highest and lowest marks, pass and failure rates and the 1–7 level spread per assessment, plus a marks sheet for every class.
XLSXClass Statistics · Term 4
Every assessment, category total and class total sits in one sheet. Learners who missed a task aren't counted as zero, and they're real Excel numbers, so you can sort, filter or chart them.
You pay when you need it. Nothing goes off your account by itself.
Every plan gives you a set number of AI-marked scripts (one script is one learner's paper, however many pages) and the whole platform: the mark book with CAPS levels, learners at risk, Individual Support Plans, HOD moderation and exports.

R100 for 50 scripts
Hi, I'm Hendrik. I used to teach.
Before I studied IT, I taught, and I saw how much of a teacher's week disappears into marking stacks, fixing broken markbook formulas and copying marks between tools.
MarkSure is my answer to that: one place that respects how South African schools actually work, and gives teachers their evenings back.
Today I work full-time as a software developer at a large software company, so MarkSure is built and looked after with the same standards I use at work every day: careful testing, secure handling of data and regular updates.
Questions teachers ask
Yes, as long as the scan is clear and upright. On our test of a real Grade 5 maths exam it gave the same mark as the teacher, 36 out of 50, every time we ran it. Very faint pencil or skew scans are harder, which is why you always have the final say.
No. MarkSure compares each answer with your memo, and when that check agrees with the mark, the question is ticked off for you. Only the questions that need a teacher's judgement, such as different wording, partial marks, essays and letters, are flagged, each with the reason. On a real DBE Grade 6 paper that was 3 questions out of 29. You can still open and change any mark.
Ticks, the same as yours. MarkSure puts a tick beside the learner's answer for every mark earned and a cross where a mark was lost, on the learner's own scanned script. You can move, flip or remove any tick, and download the marked script as a PDF with the total on the front.
Yes. Upload your memo or question paper and MarkSure reads its sections and marks and sets up your mark sheet. You can also start from a common layout for your subject, or just capture one mark for the whole paper.
No. Every plan is a once-off payment for a month, a term or a year. Nothing renews by itself, and you choose whether to pay again when it ends.
The rest of MarkSure keeps working. You can buy extra scripts any time from the marking page, and extra scripts never expire.
Scripts are only used to mark your request, and temporary uploads are deleted after processing. Marks stay inside your school's MarkSure account.
