A Free AI Grader for Teachers

Proctor AI offers a free AI grader so you can try automated grading on your own papers before paying anything. Upload a class, give it a rubric, and see the marks and feedback it produces, with you approving every result.

The free plan is a real working tool, not a watered-down demo. It reads handwritten answer sheets, essays, and exams and grades them against your marking scheme.
