One marking workspace
for screens and scanned paper.
TomaGrade is the engine that marks, annotates, moderates, and returns. Objective items score themselves; written answers land in an annotation view with the rubric alongside; results go back to the gradebook without being retyped.
Sold standalone · Anonymous marking by default · Writes back to your LMS
Two Inputs, One View
Markers should not switch tools by modality
A typed submission and a scanned handwritten script arrive in the same workspace under the same rubric. Only the intake differs.
Marked the moment the sitting closes
Answers arrive structured, so objective items are already scored and written responses open directly in the annotation view.
- No collation step: submissions are in the workspace immediately
- Typed answers are searchable and legible by default
- Attachments, code, and uploaded files open inline
The Workspace
Built around the marker, not the record
Rubric beside the answer
Criteria and mark bands sit next to the script, so scoring does not depend on remembering the scheme.
Inline annotation
Comments, marks, and stamps go on the page itself, exactly where the issue is.
Shared comment bank
Frequent feedback is written once and reused, keeping the voice consistent across a cohort.
Question-at-a-time marking
Mark one question across every candidate to hold a single standard, then move on.
Anonymous by default
Markers see the script, not the name, unless institutional policy says otherwise.
Keyboard-first navigation
Move between scripts, apply criteria, and record marks without leaving the keyboard.
What marks itself, and what does not
Automation earns its place on the items where a rule gives the same answer every time. Everything else goes to a human with the context they need.
Marked automatically
- Multiple choice and multiple response
- True/false and matching
- Numeric answers with tolerance
- Fill-in-the-blank against accepted forms
- Structured items with partial credit
Marked by a person
- Essays and long-form answers
- Handwritten working and diagrams
- Code with design judgement
- Anything a rubric interprets rather than checks
Team Marking
Distribute the work, hold the standard
Split a cohort by question or by marker, sample for moderation, and see divergence while marking is still open rather than after results are published.
Distribution rules
Split by question, marker, cohort, or sample size.
Blind second marking
Independent marks compared and reconciled before release.
Live divergence view
See a marker drifting from the team while marking is open.
Moderation trail
Every adjustment recorded with who made it and why.
Check the paper before you publish the marks
Every sitting produces evidence about the assessment itself.TomaGrade surfaces it while there is still time to act.
Item analysis
Facility and discrimination per question, so a bad item is visible before it is defended.
Reliability
Whole-paper reliability reporting for external examiners and regulators.
Version comparison
Confirm scrambled paper versions performed equivalently.
Cohort distribution
Mark distribution against previous sittings of the same paper.
Take it on its own
TomaGrade is a shared engine. It powers marking inside the platform, and it is the most common first purchase for institutions that are not ready to change how exams are delivered.
Standalone
Keep your delivery, fix marking
Scripts come in from your existing exam process, online or scanned. TomaGrade handles marking, moderation, statistics, and return to the gradebook.
Inside the platform
Marking on the same record
Under TomaVix, marks sit on the same timeline as authoring, delivery, and integrity data, which is what an appeal or an external examiner asks to see.
