About HERON
HERON: Handwritten Exam Grader is an AI-powered tool designed to assist teachers with grading handwritten exams. Leveraging advanced AI technology, this tool works by scanning the handwriting on physical exams using a smartphone camera and automating the grading process, thereby significantly reducing the time spent on manual grading. Rather than just providing a grade, HERON also generates instant comments and performance reports for students and their guardians, enhancing the evaluation process and feedback. The tool also allows for the organization of courses, students, and assessments by maintaining a digital record of all graded tests. Exporting results to school management platforms is seamless with HERONs copy tools and spreadsheet exports. HERON also features an AI Exam Scanner capable of recognizing a range of handwriting styles to ensure accurate scanning and grading. This tool is flexible enough to handle various types of tests, whether they are multiple-choice, open-ended questions, or complex problems, and can be utilized across all levels of education, from primary and secondary to higher education. Teachers can also save and reuse grading templates and rubrics, adding another layer of convenience to the grading process. This app strives to reduce human error in grading and provides near-instantaneous analysis and feedback.
