A task-given-type examination is a system of compiling questions for examinations. In this system, teachers show students some samples of examination questions beforehand, which in turn, teachers choose questions for a examination from these samples, and then give them to the students at the examination. It is very important to develop supportive software for marking, because this system requires more questions than others and, respectively, more time for marking.
In this paper, the software for marking answers is described. With the system support users scan answer sheets into a computer as digital images with a scanner or digital camera. Users put answers into score boxes for each question manually. The result of our experiments shows that with this software support almost the same amount of time is needed as in the case of manual marking, however software-based marking is easier and more accurate.
