WProofreader for assessment platforms

Proofreading for exams with graded writing

Multilingual spelling, grammar, and style checking embedded in your test runner and authoring tools.

Screenshot of a proofreading tool interface during a 'Final essay' stage titled 'How can technology help address climate change?' The tool highlights text corrections for grammar, spelling, and style with one issue each. It supports over 80 languages, offers smart language autodetection, and allows users to accept suggested corrections by hovering over highlighted words and phrases.

For whom

Government building icon representing platforms delivered to ministries of education and exam boards

Platforms delivered to governments

Your buyers are ministries of education, awarding bodies and national exam boards. Requirements arrive fixed in a tender document, including which languages and varieties you must support.

Browser window with settings gear icon representing assessment systems you operate yourself

Systems you operate yourself

You run the platform and sell access directly. Locked exams, home exams, diagnostic tests and practice attempts each need their own proofreading rules.

Document and pencil icon representing authoring of questions, materials and feedback

Authoring, materials and feedback

Teachers write questions, task instructions and learning materials. Same integration, no new stakeholders, more text worth checking.

Benefits

Language coverage

Spelling and grammar across 80+ languages and language varieties. American and British English, Bokmål and Nynorsk, with autodetect resolving language sentence by sentence in multilingual answers.

Embedded text check

Integrated as an SDK component into your test runner, authoring and grading views. As-you-type spelling and grammar suggestions, tuned so correct answers are not flagged.

Stable performance

Verified under load, not just in normal use. Hundreds of thousands of concurrent candidates, 99.95% uptime, and capacity planned with your team ahead of the exam window.

Works in any assessment system

Rich text editors, plain HTML text areas, or your own custom answer field. WProofreader integrates as an SDK component into the view candidates already use, so nothing about their exam experience changes.

The sentence reads: 'I have already been to three client meetings this week and they were all highly productive. My boss couldn't do it yesterday because of technical issues, but the report will be ready son.' The suggestion box highlights 'son' and suggests 'Soon' with options to ignore all or add to dictionary.

Correct answers stay unflagged

Nothing correct gets highlighted. A word wrongly marked as an error can cost a candidate marks and cost you a complaint. WProofreader is tuned to leave correct writing alone, and you can verify that against candidate responses before they’re scored.

Results as data, not just highlights

Beyond inline highlights, WProofreader returns the check results to your own code. Count them, score them, report on them, or feed them into candidate feedback.

Two interface panels showing an essay question and error report: The left panel shows a text box titled 'Write an essay' with an essay containing grammar errors like 'plays a important' and a misspelled word 'adress'. The right panel titled 'Use the results in a report on your assessment platform' lists error counts: Grammar 2, Spelling 1, Style 0.
Three overlapping windows with language tool settings: Essay exam with spelling and grammar toggled on, Practice activity with spelling, grammar, and style toggled on, and Language exam with all toggles off for spelling, grammar, and style.

Flexible configuration

Turn spelling and grammar on, leave style off, or switch everything off for a language exam or individual. Configured per user, per exam and per activity, so one integration behaves correctly everywhere.

Accessibility

Exams should measure writing, not software skills. Suggestions behave the way all users, including those with cognitive disabilities already expect. With full keyboard navigation throughout and WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA coverage, users get the same support as everyone else.

WProofreader is compliant with security and data privacy standards: GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2 and ISO/IEC 27001.

Frequently asked questions

Can I try WProofreader SDK for free?

Yes. The free plan is permanent, with basic checking up to a daily word limit. Paid features come with a 14-day trial in the cloud and 30 days on-premises.

What’s the difference between the cloud and standalone versions?

The cloud version is the easiest way to start. We host everything for you on AWS servers in the US East region, so you don’t need to manage any infrastructure. You simply integrate the frontend while we handle the backend. 

The on-premises solution provides full control and keeps all data within your own infrastructure, making it ideal for organizations with strict security or compliance needs. This option supports various operating systems, including Windows Server and multiple Linux distributions, and is compatible with virtualization and containerization technologies. Each release undergoes extensive testing to ensure smooth deployment and optimal performance across diverse environments, including compatibility with web servers like NGINX and Apache, and proper JVM configuration.

Both options prioritize security with regular updates and thorough testing to ensure smooth operation. While the cloud uses powerful GPUs for AI tasks, the on-premises solution is optimized for efficient performance on standard CPU hardware.

‍

Does it handle multiple languages?

Yes. WProofreader auto-detects language sentence by sentence, or you can pin a default language in settings. It supports 80+ languages and dialects.

Will WProofreader work with the editable fields in my assessment system?

WProofreader works with almost any editable field in your assessment system, whether it’s an HTML control or WYSIWYG editor. This compatibility applies both to our browser extensions and to integrations via our SDK, which supports popular editors like CKEditor, Froala, TinyMCE, Quill, Tiptap and frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue.js.

Does WProofreader meet accessibility standards?

WProofreader is compliant with WCAG 2.1 and Section 508 accessibility standards, which makes it convenient for all users, regardless of the limitations they might be facing.

WProofreader comes with keyboard navigation, and its UI is designed to be universally readable. There are different themes, UI localizations, and extra settings to suit your needs. The on-premises version gives you even more ways to customize it.
