“Scribo really delivers something special for English and humanities teachers using AI intelligence, the likes of which I have never seen before. Scribo really must be seen by all.”

“All teachers really need to see Scribo. It will change their teaching and their life.”

The key words “before teachers read a word” embodies how Scribo saves teachers so much time. Scribo eliminates the long hours of reviewing, making notes on where help is needed and handling multiple drafts for all classes and students.

“Scribo creates significant insights into both cohort and student writing, all of which can be shared with the class. Turn off the student names and the whole class draws value from examples and alternatives. To be clear, this panel means no more out of class teacher review time. Lesson planning is now live and done for you. So Exciting!”

Before reading a word, teachers find where to target teaching for the class and and each student.

What this means for teachers is simple. Scribo looks into the features of the text and analyses every word. A six level detailed analysis is ready in minutes for the cohort and each student. Teachers say they have never seen anything like Scribo.

Scribo does not grade essays. Grading is supported through clever rating and rubric capabilities.
