Every student against the same standard
The last test in the pile is held against the same mark scheme as the first. If two students get clearly different scores for the same answer, GraidLens flags it.
You take photos of your students' work. GraidLens reads the answers, compares them with your mark scheme and suggests a score per question. You check, adjust where needed and approve. Only then does the grade count.

Day-to-day grading
From blank test to grade list. The first time, setting up the mark scheme takes the most time.

Time back
Work it out with your own numbers. You still check every student. GraidLens does the reading, the comparing with your mark scheme and the adding up of points.
An example, not a measurement. Each test includes 10 minutes to set up the mark scheme, and a school year counts as 10 months. With the starting values you mark for 3.9 hours a week. Full-time teachers in OECD countries report 4.6 hours a week on average. OECD, Results from TALIS 2024

The last test in the pile is held against the same mark scheme as the first. If two students get clearly different scores for the same answer, GraidLens flags it.
Each suggestion shows how sure GraidLens is. You start with what is in doubt, not with what is clearly right or wrong.
Each question gets a short explanation that you can edit and pass on to the student. Dictate your own remark and GraidLens turns it into a tidy sentence.
After marking you see how the class did on each question, with p-value and item-rest correlation, and the reliability of the whole test. So you know what to explain again.
Questions and mark schemes stay in your question bank. When you correct how GraidLens read someone's handwriting, it uses that correction on that student's next test.
Upload the photos and do something else. Marking carries on in the background, even if you close the window.
Features
p-value and item-rest correlation per question, Cronbach's alpha and measurement error for the whole test.
Points, criteria and example answers per question. GraidLens points out criteria that can be read in more than one way.
All answers to one question listed together, identical answers grouped. That keeps you consistent.
Each suggestion shows how certain GraidLens is. Start with the doubtful ones.

For schools
Teachers can use GraidLens on their own. If you want to arrange it as a school, this is what it involves: management, privacy agreements, costs and a plan for a pilot.
Pricing
Two plans for teachers and a licence for schools. All features are included in every plan. The difference is how many tests you create per month. Creating an account is free and doesn't ask for payment details. Your first plan starts with 14 days free. After that it continues at the normal price unless you cancel within those 14 days.
For a few tests a month.

FAQ
You don't have to reread every answer, but you do approve every student. How thoroughly you check is up to you. GraidLens shows where it is unsure, so you know where to look.
That varies per test. It depends on the handwriting, the type of question and how precise your mark scheme is. Short answers with a clear mark scheme go better than long, reflective answers. There is no independent research into its accuracy yet, so we don't quote percentages. Our advice: mark the first test yourself as well and compare.
Usually, but not always. For every answer you see what GraidLens read, so you spot a reading error straight away. If you correct the text that was read, GraidLens uses that correction as an example for later tests by the same student.
Any subject with written answers. It works best for questions with a clear mark scheme: terms, short explanations, calculations with working. With drawings, graphs and long formulas you'll need to step in more often.
Not directly. You download a CSV file and import it yourself. For the Dutch systems Magister and Somtoday the file is already in the right format. You paste student labels into a class in GraidLens as a list.
Your school is responsible for students' data; GraidLens processes it on the school's behalf. That requires a data processing agreement, which schools request from us. A grade is never set automatically: a teacher approves it. If in doubt, talk to your school's data protection officer.
Then you change the score. Your score counts, not the suggestion. You can also sharpen the mark scheme and have the rest of the class marked again.
