AI exam proctoring is a technology that monitors students while they take online tests. It uses a combination of webcam, microphone, and screen monitoring to ensure that the rules of the exam are being followed, even when a teacher isn't in the room.

The AI looks for specific behaviors, such as a student leaving their seat, another person entering the room, or the student opening new tabs in their browser. If it detects something unusual, it "flags" the moment for the teacher to review later.

In most cases, students only need a standard web browser with a small extension. The system is designed to be easy to set up so students can focus on their exam rather than technical issues.

Yes. Data privacy is a top priority. Recordings are encrypted and only accessible to authorized school staff for the purpose of verifying exam integrity. The system only monitors the student during the actual exam period.

The AI does not automatically fail a student. It simply marks the timestamp for the teacher. The teacher can then watch the video clip to decide if it was an actual violation or just a simple mistake, like someone walking past a doorway.

Our proctoring tools are compatible with most desktops and laptops that have a working webcam and microphone. We recommend a stable internet connection to ensure the monitoring runs smoothly throughout the test.

It is a set of digital tools and protocols designed to protect the entire lifecycle of an exam. This includes everything from the secure creation of questions to the encrypted storage of final student grades.

Questions are stored in an encrypted database that only authorized staff can access. You can also set specific "release times," so the exam content remains hidden until the exact moment the test begins.

Access is strictly controlled through user roles. Only the assigned teacher and authorized administrators can view specific grades. This ensures that student privacy is maintained and that data is never shared with the wrong people.

Yes. We use industry-standard encryption and secure servers to protect against unauthorized access. Our systems are regularly updated to meet the highest security standards for educational data.

Yes. We offer dedicated support for teams using our API. Whether you have questions about authentication or need help troubleshooting a specific feature, our team is available to assist you.

You simply scan the student's paper using a standard office scanner or take a clear photo with a mobile device. The system then uploads the image and uses AI to read the handwriting and convert it into a digital format.

Our system uses advanced handwriting recognition technology designed to handle various writing styles. If the AI is unsure about a specific word, it will flag it for your review so you can confirm the text.

Yes. Once the paper is digitized, you can add digital comments, highlights, and feedback just as you would on a physical paper, but with the benefit of keeping a permanent digital record.

Most teachers find it much faster. Because the work is digital, you can use automated grading tools for certain sections and quickly move between student files without shuffling through physical stacks of paper.

Once the exam is securely saved in the cloud, you no longer need to store the physical copies. This helps reduce clutter in the classroom and ensures that a student's work can never be lost or damaged.

Yes. You can choose to share the digital copy of the graded exam with students and parents through a secure link or portal. This provides clear transparency regarding the student's performance.

On-screen marking is a digital process where examiners mark scanned student answer scripts on a computer screen instead of working with physical papers. It centralizes all answer booklets, provides annotation tools, and lets markers grade question by question for greater consistency and speed.

Markers can place stamps, draw highlights, add sticky notes, and type comments directly on the scanned script. Every annotation is saved in real time and linked to the specific answer, giving students a clear record of exactly where marks were awarded or deducted.

Yes. The platform supports double marking and moderation workflows. Different markers are automatically assigned separate questions or scripts, and a senior moderator can review any discrepancies before results are finalized.

The system uses standardization scripts and live marking statistics to flag outlier scores. Markers can view the official marking scheme side by side with each answer, and supervisor dashboards track individual marker behaviour throughout the session.

Yes. Each answer has a dedicated feedback panel where markers can write detailed comments. These comments are stored against the question and are visible to students and teachers once results are released.

The platform accepts PDF and common image formats (JPEG, PNG, TIFF) produced by standard office scanners or mobile scanning apps. Bulk uploads are supported so entire exam batches can be ingested in one go.

When double marking is enabled, two independent markers score the same script without seeing each other's marks. If their scores differ by more than a set tolerance, the paper is automatically escalated to a senior examiner for a casting vote.

Yes. Supervisors can assign a specific number of scripts to each marker, set completion deadlines, and monitor progress in real time through a central dashboard. Automated reminders help keep the marking session on schedule.

An AI marking tool reads your students' submissions, applies the marking scheme or rubric you already use, suggests a mark for each question, and writes feedback that explains where marks were lost. You review every suggestion, override anything you disagree with, and approve the results before they reach students. GradeLab does this for both handwritten and digital assessments, so you do not need two different tools.

They are the same workflow with a different name. Teachers in the UK, Australia, India, Singapore, and across the Commonwealth say "marking." Teachers in the US and Canada usually say "grading." GradeLab supports both terms because the job is the same: read the work, apply the standard, give the feedback, and keep the teacher in control.

Yes. Upload scanned papers or phone photos of handwritten answer sheets. GradeLab reads the handwriting using OCR, maps each answer to the correct question, applies your marking scheme, and suggests marks with visible reasoning. You review and approve every suggested mark before results go out. If the AI is unsure about a specific answer, it flags it for your attention instead of guessing.

Yes. This is one of the core features teachers ask for. You write your rules in plain English and GradeLab follows them on every paper. For example: "award method marks even if the final answer is wrong" or "deduct one mark for missing units in physics." The AI applies your instructions consistently, whether it is paper 1 at 2 PM or paper 200 at midnight. You still review and override anything, but the starting point is your standard, not a generic one.

Yes, and you should. GradeLab is your assistant, not your replacement. Override any mark, rewrite any feedback comment, add your own notes, and finalize results only after you are satisfied. Nothing reaches a student without your approval. The AI does the heavy lifting so you can focus on the answers that actually need your judgement.

A class of 30 papers comes back with suggested marks in under 5 minutes. You then review the flagged answers, check anything you want to double-check, and approve. Most teachers finish the full review in another 10 to 15 minutes. So instead of spending your entire evening marking, you are done before the kettle boils for your next cup of tea.

Yes. GradeLab does not just match keywords or count sentences. It reads the full response, evaluates argument structure, evidence use, reasoning quality, and writing mechanics against your rubric. It explains why each mark was awarded or deducted, so you can see the reasoning before you approve. If you teach literature or history and you want original argument rewarded even when you disagree with the conclusion, you can add that as a custom instruction.

GradeLab marks essays, short answers, mathematics with step-wise working, science problems, lab reports, code, diagrams, and mixed-format exams. It handles multilingual submissions including English, Hindi, and other verified languages.

If you have ever wondered whether you marked paper 1 the same way you marked paper 100, you are not alone. Fatigue changes how we mark. GradeLab applies the same rubric and the same custom instructions on every paper, so the consistency problem goes away. When multiple educators mark the same assessment, GradeLab surfaces discrepancies for moderation so your department can standardise.

Yes. GradeLab supports the workflows your exam office needs: audit trails, marking rationale export, moderation, re-evaluation, and marks normalisation. When a student challenges a result, every decision is visible: the original answer, the applied rubric, the AI reasoning, your override, and the final mark. You can export it as a report for the appeals committee.

Grading software is a platform that replaces the scattered tools you use to grade papers. Instead of juggling a spreadsheet, a learning management system that was not built for grading, and a red pen, you upload submissions, apply your rubric, review suggested marks, and release feedback from one dashboard. GradeLab is grading software that reads handwriting, applies your rubric, suggests marks, and lets you approve every result before it reaches students.

Automated exam marking is what happens when AI handles the reading, the mark scheme application, and the first pass of scoring. GradeLab reads your students' answer sheets using OCR, applies your marking scheme with your custom instructions, and suggests a mark for every question with visible reasoning. You review the suggestions, focus on the flagged answers, override anything you disagree with, and approve. The whole batch is done in a fraction of the time, and every decision is defensible.

Yes. Upload scanned papers or phone photos. GradeLab reads the handwriting, maps each answer to the correct question, applies your marking scheme with step marks and partial credit, and flags uncertain answers for your review. You do not need special scanners or equipment. A decent phone photo or office scanner is enough.

A student who set up the equation right but made an arithmetic mistake deserves method marks. GradeLab evaluates each step of the working, awards credit for correct method, and only deducts where a specific step actually fails. This is how experienced examiners apply marking schemes in board and university exams, and it is how GradeLab does it too. You can add custom instructions like "always show working marks for integration by parts" and the AI follows that rule on every paper.

GradeLab marks essay exams, short-answer tests, mathematics and science papers, lab reports, coding assessments, diagram-based questions, and mixed-format exam booklets. It handles both handwritten and digital submissions.

A batch of 200 exam papers comes back with suggested marks in under 10 minutes. You then review the flagged answers, approve the results, and release feedback to students. For many institutions, this means results go out the same day the exam was given, instead of two weeks later. That changes what students and parents expect from you.

Yes. GradeLab supports batch processing so you can upload an entire exam sitting, track progress per batch, and assign different marking schemes to different subjects or sections within the same exam.

Yes. GradeLab provides audit trails, moderation workflows, re-evaluation support, and exportable marking rationale.
