Smartgrade is a cloud-based AI exam grading and educational assessment platform that automates the evaluation of handwritten and digital student work. The software combines computer vision, optical character recognition, and generative AI to interpret examination responses and assign scores based on predefined grading criteria. Teachers can scan an entire classroom's exams into one PDF document and upload the file for automated processing. Its student recognition capabilities identify individual submissions and match them to classroom rosters without requiring educators to separate every examination manually. Customizable grading rubrics allow teachers to establish scoring scales, question weights, partial credit rules, spelling penalties, and other evaluation requirements. An anchor paper calibration feature enables educators to upload a previously graded exam so the AI can better align its scoring with the teacher's expectations. The platform generates detailed reports for each student, including overall grades, question-by-question evaluations, and personalized explanations of mistakes or areas for improvement. Teachers retain control over final results and can modify individual scores, revise feedback, and choose between encouraging, rigorous, or constructive feedback styles. Learning analytics provide visibility into class averages, grade distributions, individual performance, and achievement against applicable educational standards. Smartgrade also supports collaborative group project assessment through rubrics that account for both team outcomes and individual contributions. Additional capabilities include recognition of more than 80 languages, downloadable PDF reports, gradebook exports, centralized school administration, institution-wide analytics, and student data protection controls.
