Intelligent natural writing technology

Handwriting,
made intelligent.

Iyal uses intelligent natural writing technology to save educators 8–10 hours a week spent on manual assessment.

How it works

Built around how people already write.

Intelligent natural writing technology captures real paper, a real pen, and real time — turning naturally written strokes into computable information.

Step 1 — The question
An example assessment question given to a student.
Scanned question: find the roots of x squared minus 5x plus 6 equals 0
Step 2 — Captured live
Every stroke streamed as it's written — up to 100 times a second, no photograph needed.
Pen rendering live next to physical paperLive rendering and physical writing, animated
Step 3 — Marked instantly
Checked against the answer key the moment the student finishes.
✓Factorisation (x−3)(x−2)=01.0/1.0
✓Root x = 2 stated0.5/0.5
✗Root x = 3 — wrote x = −30.0/0.5

Iyal's examination paradigm

Steps in an example examination.

From picking up the pen to the teacher reviewing AI-marked responses — what Iyal looks like across a real exam session.

1Student uses Iyal Pen during an assessment

Students are assigned a unique pen for a given assessment. The pen is switched on before the assignment is taken. Students write the assessment like always — ink writing on a paper surface.

2Pens are collected at the end of the assessment

Each pen has a barcode for unique student identification. Students are free to take their written response home.

3Pen data uploaded onto teacher's computer

Teachers see the response of each student, and the mark awarded by the AI — with full information on student strokes, to identify where they struggled and where they did well.

Pen on, writing begins

A unique pen, switched on before the assessment starts — writing feels exactly the same as always.

Pens collected, paper kept

Each pen is barcoded to a student. The written response itself stays with the student.

Uploaded, marked, reviewed

Teachers see each response and the AI's mark — down to the exact stroke where a student struggled.
