Answer Sheet
Students write subjective answers on plain paper; upload the scans and OCR reads the handwriting while AI grades against your rubric — with a full review workspace and teacher override on every score.
What it is
Answer Sheet handles handwritten, subjective answers. Students write on plain paper exactly as in a board exam, then upload scans (PDF or images). On-platform OCR extracts the text (math/LaTeX-aware) and the AI evaluates each answer against your rubric, proposing a score with reasoning. You then work a rich review workspace — annotate the PDF, grade question-by-question with keyboard shortcuts, score against the rubric, read AI insights, and override anything before you publish feedback. Choose how much AI does: AI Auto, AI + Review, or Manual only (no AI cost).
Who it's for
For teachers, parents and org admins grading board-style long-form answers. Answer Sheet is purchase-gated and behind the CHANNEL.ANSWERSHEET feature flag. AI evaluation draws on your wallet, so creating an exam runs a paper-credit gate up front; choose Manual only to grade with no AI cost.
