A new generation of exam marking.

TamOkuma reads open-ended exam papers with AI, scores every answer against your rubric by the same criteria, and turns the result into student, class and institution reports. The exam stops being a measuring tool and becomes a development tool.

exam marking in 5 steps

Scan the paper, let the system do the rest.

Five steps from upload to report. All the teacher does is scan the papers and approve the rubric.

01 · Upload

Scan the papers

Upload exam papers by scanning or photographing them.

02 · Rubric

Rubric ready instantly

Upload your own rubric or approve the one the system suggests.

03 · Read

Mark the exams

Handwriting from any grade level is read and reported without trouble.

04 · Score

See the scores

Fair, Standard and Tolerant modes capture every teacher's own approach.

05 · Report

Get an in-depth PDF report

Share detailed PDF reports with parents and students; turn the exam into a development tool rather than a measurement.

Stop reading papers. Start reading results.

A whole class is assessed in a single sitting, so the teacher's time goes into discussing the outcome instead of marking by hand.

3 different teacher approaches

One paper, three marking modes.

Every teacher scores differently. TamOkuma marks the paper in all three modes at once, and the institution decides which one counts.

2/10
Fair
Strict scoring

Looks for the rubric criterion word for word. A missing phrase means missing marks.

4/10
Standard
Balanced approach

Takes the rubric as the basis and also credits answers that are right in meaning.

6/10
Tolerant
Flexible assessment

Rewards the right line of thinking; slips in wording do not cost marks.

The same answer from the same student scores 2, 4 and 6 in the three modes above. The report card states which mode produced it — the score follows the chosen criterion, not the teacher's mood.

whole-class exam analysis

A whole class, on one screen.

When the exam is uploaded, questions are extracted automatically and matched to the curriculum. The panel shows where the class stands before you open a single paper.

The report card states which question measures which learning outcome, so the parent can see where every point came from.

feedback

Turn the exam into a development tool, not a measurement.

Behind the report card there is feedback written for the student: what was done right, and where to go next.

What you got right

Which connection the student made and why it was correct, point by point, quoting their own answer.

How can you improve?

A concrete study suggestion that closes the gap — guidance, not deductions.

Curriculum tips

Which learning outcome the answer relates to, and where the topic connects in real life.

Recommended videos

YouTube videos matched to the missing learning outcome appear on the report card as QR codes.

Scan the QR code to reach the recommended YouTube videos

Videos chosen for the missing learning outcome are printed on the report card as QR codes; the student scans one and goes straight to the topic.

pilot results

Full agreement with the teacher's own score.

TamOkuma received top marks for reading accuracy from the teachers who piloted the system. During testing they compared the papers they had marked themselves with the system's marking, and the score the system gave matched the score the teacher gave exactly.

Parents were delighted with the detailed report cards they received — many of them read the card as “the value the school places on my child”.
