Private beta — early access opening soon

Grade a class of papers in five minutes, not five evenings.

GradeNow reads handwritten answer scripts, scores them against your rubric, and writes student-facing feedback. You stay in control — every grade is editable, evidenced, and audited.

No credit card to start Pay-as-you-go credits Your scripts stay yours

Exams are going back to pen and paper. Your evenings don't have to go with them.

How it works

From paper pile to published marks in four steps

Upload the exam paper

GradeNow reads it and drafts the full question tree — max marks, model answers, and marking criteria.

Approve your rubric

Edit any criterion. Set strictness, partial credit, follow-through marking, and special instructions. You lock it.

Upload answer scripts

Scans go in. The AI reads each student's handwriting and marks every answer against your locked rubric — with evidence.

Review & publish

See marks per criterion, click any answer to see it on the actual page, override anything, export or publish.

Why teachers trust it

AI does the reading. You keep the red pen.

✍️

Handwriting-native

Built for real scanned scripts — rushed handwriting, crossed-out lines, answers that wander across pages.

🌳

Question-tree rubrics

Criterion-by-criterion marking with your strictness and credit policies — never a black-box score.

🔍

Evidence you can click

Every extracted answer links to the exact spot on the student's page. Verify any mark in one click.

💬

Student-facing feedback

Clear, kind, specific feedback drafted per answer — ready to edit and send with the marks.

🖍️

Teacher is always final

Override any mark with a reason. AI proposes; you decide. A full audit trail records every change.

STEM & essays alike

Math working, proofs, diagrams, code traces, long-form essays — graded with type-aware rules.
