About The Marking App

The Marking App automatically marks student assessments in seconds, placing ticks and crosses directly on handwritten scripts, without learner devices or ICT infrastructure upgrades. It works within existing paper-based processes and offers up to 80% less marking administration, real-time curriculum coverage tracking and more frequent assessment.

The Marking App (Pty) Ltd builds AI and IT solutions for schools, universities, TVET colleges and education departments across Africa, and also offers more than 2,000 free games, study resources and practice tests. It has partnered with the University of Eswatini through its Growth Lab for Africa and runs an associated NPC. The company is based in Pretoria, South Africa, and was founded in 2020.
