GradeSense is AI grading software for schools and institutes that evaluates handwritten exams, mock tests, and assignments against rubrics. Its handwriting recognition covers languages and scripts, including mathematical equations, crossed-out text, and marginal notes. Teachers can compare answers with rubrics, edit marks, override scores, and approve results before publication. A teacher can correct the AI once and apply that change to regrade the rest of a batch. Question-level heatmaps, student progress tracking, and timestamped logs of grades and corrections support review. Integrations listed include Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard Learn, and Google Classroom for roster, assignment, or gradebook workflows. It can send parents feedback, scores, and teacher comments as encrypted PDFs over WhatsApp and SMS. GradeSense says answer images and rubric data are sent to Google Cloud AI and Anthropic, and that customer data is not used to train third-party AI models. Its security page describes AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, hardware security module key management, and storage-region choices in the US, EU, and India. Plans include a free pilot with 50 evaluation credits and one teacher seat, and Pro Pay-As-You-Go at ₹200, paid once, billed ₹2.00/page.
