Grade tests from a photo, a batch of photos, a PDF, or an upload. iGrade is the AI grading assistant built by a teacher, for teachers — shoot a handwritten test with your phone and get per-question results. No scanner, no bubble sheets, and no pasting student work into ChatGPT.
HOW IT WORKS
Photograph your answer key (or type a rubric for essays)
Add the student papers — photograph them, upload a PDF, or send a whole batch at once
Get per-question results — Correct, Incorrect, Review — plus an AI performance summary
WHAT IT GRADES
✅ Fill-in-the-blank and short answer
✅ Multiple choice (handwritten or bubble sheet)
✅ True/false
✅ Spelling tests
✅ Multi-part questions — each part graded on its own, with partial credit
✅ Essay and free-response (rubric-based, with writing analysis)
✅ Batch grading — photograph a stack of papers against one answer key
✅ Save an answer key once and reuse it on any device
✅ Export results as CSV for any gradebook or LMS
GRADE PAPERS IN MINUTES, NOT HOURS
Grading a stack by hand eats your evenings. A class set of 30 takes about eight minutes — photographing them is the slow part. iGrade does the reading and the math; you stay in charge of every grade and all feedback. When it isn't confident, it flags the question instead of guessing.
BUILT FOR REAL CLASSROOMS
Math, science, English, history, foreign-language vocabulary, spelling. If students wrote answers by hand, iGrade can grade it.
THE FAST OPTION SHOULDN'T BE THE RISKY ONE
A teacher who wants to grade faster has one real choice today: paste student work into ChatGPT or Gemini. It works — but it drifts, and needs constant recalibration. It's also what your district's data policy exists to prevent, which is why it happens quietly and nobody puts it in a lesson plan. iGrade was built so you don't have to make that trade.
DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT — MIRROR TEST IT
Photograph your answer key, then photograph it again as the student paper. A grader reading honestly should mark the rote answers right and still stop on the open-ended ones — a paragraph in your own words is a judgment call no matter who wrote it. Watch where it agrees and where it flags. It's the test we'd run on somebody else's grader.
YOU CAN CHANGE HOW IT GRADES, AFTER YOU SEE THE RESULTS
Marked something differently than you would? Tell iGrade — "accept either spelling," "Q7 needs the unit," "be stricter on the explanations" — and it re-grades the set your way. The adjustment sticks to that answer key, so the next class is graded the way you decided.
