SmartPaper for US high school and college teachers. Everything else in the product exists so that one moment works.
In India, paper is the constraint and scale is the value: tens of thousands of government schools, students with no devices, ministries that need millions of sheets measured cheaply. In the US every student has a Chromebook. Paper is a choice, and teachers are choosing it again for three reasons that arrived together.
Anything typed can be generated. Blue books are back in universities; in-class handwritten quizzes are back in high schools. Paper is the AI-proof medium.
Phone bans in most states, districts trimming app lists, parents distrustful of edtech data. Screen-free is now a selling point to a school board.
Teachers welcome AI exactly here: teacher-facing, giving back hours, never a chatbot in front of a child. Trust holds only if the teacher visibly stays the grader.
The promise: keep pen and paper, which you now want for integrity and attention, without the grading cost that pushed you to screens in the first place.
One page, no setup screen. Type a title and questions the way you'd type them in a doc. Each question has a type, points, and for multiple choice you click the right option. Class, subject and standards are optional tags. The primary button is Print.
Tap the quiz, the camera opens. Hold the phone over the stack; it captures each sheet as it settles. A thumbnail strip fills with green checks when the page's code and the student's name were read, a flag when it needs you later. Lock the phone and walk to class. Uploads and grading finish on their own.
One screen per quiz: graded, missing, average. The roster with scores. The questions sorted by how badly the class did, so what to reteach is at the top. Tap a student to see their handwriting beside the suggested score and one line of feedback; accept with a tap or drag the score. Export to the gradebook is one button.
Print a quiz with no class. Scan a stack with no roster; names are read from the page and confirmed once. Structure accrues as you use it.
The printed sheet does the work: corner codes, name and ID boxes, tick boxes, ruled regions. The teacher never tells the app whose page is whose.
Every score is suggested with its confidence. Low confidence sorts to the top of a short queue. Feedback reads in the teacher's voice and is theirs to edit. Nothing ever stops with an error dialog.
No student accounts, no logins, no screens in the classroom. A feature to advertise, and it sidesteps COPPA entirely.
US data residency, a plain privacy page, deletion on request. FERPA and state laws like New York Ed Law 2-d are table stakes for a district.
Quiz, class, period, points, answer key, rubric, gradebook. Never target, group, roll number, marks, scan wizard.
The onboarding modal. Mandatory grade, subject and language fields. The NCERT library. Roll numbers. The per-page upload wizard. The Focused / Scroll toggle. A separate Analytics section: analytics live inside each quiz and roll up per class when asked.
The teacher first, with a personal card. Then a department, then a district. College is a distinct wedge: blue books are back, sections are large, TAs grade inconsistently, and departments have budgets. Value is time and feedback quality per teacher, not throughput.
Static mockups in the product's design system. Each opens full size in a new tab.
