Announcing EssayGrader 3.1 🎉 : See more. Decide faster.

Teachers grade best when the right signals are obvious and the next action is one click away. EssayGrader 3.1 is built for triage speed and grading flow. You scan first, focus faster, decide with confidence, and send clean reports to your students.

Triage that saves real time

Skim first, then dive

📑 AI Summarizer Tool

‍Get an instant outline of any essay before opening and going through the full submission. See thesis, key claims, structure, and likely weak spots. Use it to wisely allocate the limited grading time teachers have. Summaries also help during regrade requests from students. Re-orient in seconds without reading the whole paper again.

Find the needles fast

⚙ Smarter Essay Filtering

‍Filter by AI flags or by grade ranges to surface the exact subset you need: “needs review,” “borderline,” “regrade candidates,” or “exceeds.” Combine filters when running make-ups or late submissions so you only touch the essays that changed.

Compare revisions without tab chaos

👥 Easily review different versions of the same essay

‍‍Open two submissions from the same student in one view. Track revision quality, confirm if improvements hit rubric targets, and spot copy-paste or paraphrase patterns more easily. Comment once, decide once, move on.

Quick integrity checks that don’t use grading quota

🔎 Standalone AI Detection

‍Run an AI-use probability scan outside the grading flow. Ideal when you need a one-off check, when grading isn’t the priority, or when you don’t want to consume monthly grading quota. Some teachers use EssayGrader solely for quick authenticity checks—during research units, capstone project checkpoints, or when screening new submissions—without touching their grading quota.

Grade in flow, not in circles

Adjust scores where you work

✏️ Direct Grade Editing

‍Edit criterion and overall scores directly in the report. No back-and-forth or going to a new screen. Inline edits preserve momentum during student conferences or when calibrating scores across a department.

See patterns that drive instruction

📊 Metrics Dashboard

‍Get class-level visuals that reveal outliers and common trouble spots by criterion. Use it to prioritize mini-lessons, target reteaching, and justify grade distributions during admin reviews. Drill down from “why are many 2s on Evidence?” to specific examples.

Export what your LMS expects

📤 Canvas Rubric Score Export

‍Choose rubric scores or percentage grades at export. Match your department’s reporting rules so syncs are clean. Reduce “grade doesn’t match” issues by aligning the format at the source.

Send clean, professional feedback and writing reports

Copy to share anywhere

👯 Copy the Feedback and Writing Reports

‍Grab a clean, formatted version for email, LMS comments, or archival notes. No hunting for formatting. No weird line breaks. Useful for quick parent follow-ups and student absences.

Print when paper works best

🖨️ Print the Feedback Report

‍Send the formatted report straight to the printer. Perfect for IEP meetings, parent nights, and desk-side conferences where paper still wins attention.

Archive or review in one pass

📎 Export all Student Feedback and Writing Reports as a Single File

‍Bundle every student’s report into one PDF. Archive student reports for an entire class in seconds. Or read front-to-back offline to sanity-check tone, consistency, and alignment with the rubric.
