From a photo of a notebook page to a full assessment
Students still write exam essays by hand. Retyping them takes longer than checking them, so Writing Checker starts from a phone photo: up to several pages, one after another. It turns the handwriting into text and shows it to you first, so you can fix a misread word before the assessment is written. The student's own mistakes stay as they are.
A typed essay works too: paste the text and press Check writing. A check takes about a minute.
Scored on the four Cambridge criteria
Each essay gets a score out of 5 on the four criteria Cambridge examiners use for writing, with a short comment on each:
- Content: does the text answer every part of the task?
- Communicative achievement: is the register and format right for the reader?
- Organisation: paragraphs, linking words, logical flow.
- Language: range and accuracy of grammar and vocabulary.
Every mistake marked and explained
Mistakes are highlighted in the text and grouped by kind: grammar, vocabulary, spelling, punctuation and style. Tap a highlighted word to see the correction and why it is wrong. The word count is compared with what the chosen exam expects.
Copy the feedback into a message or save it as a PDF for the student. Every check is kept in your history.
Levels and exams
Pick the student's level before the check: A2 Key, B1 Preliminary, B2 First, C1 Advanced or C2 Proficiency. Add the writing task if you have it: the Content score is more accurate when Writing Checker knows what the student was asked to write.
