Can it grade handwritten essays?

Yes. Students or teachers can photograph a handwritten essay using the built-in camera feature. The AI reads the text via OCR and grades it like any typed submission.

How accurate is the AI grading?

The AI uses the same rubric criteria every time (content, grammar, structure, clarity, and creativity) producing consistent, bias-free results comparable to human graders.

Can students see their own feedback?

Yes. You control what's shared. Students can view their score and feedback comments once the teacher releases results.

What languages are supported?

English is fully supported. Other languages depend on the AI model's capabilities. Most major languages work well for basic grading.

Can I customize the grading rubric?

Enterprise plan users can set custom rubric weights per assignment. All plans include the standard multi-dimension rubric out of the box.
