SchoolCity Scan is a non-browser based scanning application that is available in SchoolCity. This Windows-based application removes browser compatibility issues. Features such as bulk scanning (mixed assessments within one scanning batch), student search, manual input screen (if for any reason the paper version is not successfully processed by the scanner), and PDF scanning are available.
After installing SchoolCity Scan, student answer sheets may be scored using a compatible, TWAIN-compliant scanner.
