Features

Every format.
Every subject.
One tool.

SmartGradr was built to handle whatever your students hand in — handwritten essays, complex math steps, chemical equations, diagrams and more — and grade all of it accurately, in minutes.

Supported formats

Built for the real classroom

Most grading tools handle simple text. SmartGradr handles the hard stuff — math, diagrams, chemistry, code, and more.

Plain Text
Plain Text & Essays

Reads any handwriting style with 95%+ accuracy. Short answers, paragraphs, and multi-page essays — all handled.

Math Formulas
Math Formulas

Decodes handwritten equations and step-by-step work. Output is LaTeX-formatted for clean display and consistent review.

Chemical Formulas
Chemical Formulas

Reads H₂O, reaction chains, structural formulas, subscripts and superscripts — even messy handwritten notation.

Diagrams
Labeled Diagrams

Detects where labels are placed on anatomy, circuit, or geography diagrams and matches them to your answer key.

Tables
Tables & Data

Preserves table structure cell-by-cell — from simple two-column charts to complex multi-row data sets.

Multiple Choice
Multiple Choice

Reliably reads filled bubbles even with varied marking styles. Supports partial credit and weighted scoring.

Coding
Coding Assignments

Evaluates handwritten or printed code across Python, Java, C++, and more — checking logic, syntax, and style.

Music
Music Notation

Identifies clefs, notes, rests, and dynamics on staff paper. Handwritten or printed — SmartGradr reads the rhythm. (In development)

Essay grading,
reimagined

Teachers spend hours reading essays. SmartGradr reads the entire submission, scores it against your rubric, and generates contextual feedback — in seconds, not evenings.

  • Reads long essays with full accuracy regardless of length
  • Generates feedback tied to specific rubric dimensions
  • Consistent scoring across all students — no grading fatigue
  • Works with handwritten or typed submissions

Mathematics

Step-based math
grading done right

Most math assessments aren't about the final answer — they're about the process. SmartGradr captures every step written by the student, grades the work (not just the result), and highlights where they went wrong.

  • Algebra, calculus, trigonometry, statistics, and more
  • Preserves each step in LaTeX for clean review
  • Detects common errors and skipped steps
  • Assign partial credit per step or per question

Computer Science

Code grading that
understands code

SmartGradr doesn't just read code as text — it understands syntax, logic, and structure. Whether it's a handwritten pseudocode sketch or a printed Python assignment, it evaluates correctness, style, and approach.

  • Supports Python, Java, C++, JavaScript, and more
  • Checks logic against expected outcomes from your rubric
  • Highlights style issues and logic errors in feedback
  • Works with handwritten or typed code submissions
Chemical formula recognition
Chemistry

Chemical notation?
No problem.

From simple compounds like H₂O to complex reaction chains with states of matter and conditions — SmartGradr reads, parses, and grades it accurately.

  • Subscripts, superscripts, charges, and reaction arrows
  • Balancing equations, stoichiometry, mole calculations
  • Lab reports with data tables and analysis
  • Supports IB, AP, and provincial standards
Grading methods

Your rubric, any format.
Understood automatically.

SmartGradr reads whatever grading reference you provide — without asking you to re-format or classify it.

01

Answer Keys

Provide exact or multiple acceptable answers per question. SmartGradr scores using exact match, semantic match, or numeric comparison depending on the content.
