This SA startup is making teachers’ live easier by automating marking
Summary
The Marking App is a South African startup that built an AI-powered SaaS platform to automatically mark handwritten test papers and generate teacher-style feedback and analytics. Teachers scan or photograph scripts with standard printers, scanners, or mobile phones and receive instantly marked scripts plus learner, class, school and institutional reports. The company says the system can cut marking and administrative workload by up to 80% and is piloting with more than 50 schools, 200 teachers and over 8,000 learners, with expansion into Eswatini and interest from districts and universities. The business follows a B2B/B2G model, has been supported by grants and innovation programmes, and is focused on pilots, institutional onboarding and scaling across African education systems.
