What is an essay feedback generator?
An essay feedback generator drafts written feedback on a student's work, so you can respond faster and more consistently. In Edform, you paste the essay, upload a file or add a photo of a handwritten page, and optionally describe the assignment and your criteria. You get feedback addressed to the student: three strengths with examples from the text, two or three things to improve with clear advice, and one next step. For you, there's a list of real errors with the correction and the rule. Choose "Suggest a grade" to get a grade on your country's scale with a justification. Make it gentler, more formal or shorter before sharing it.

Questions teachers ask
Does it grade the work?
Only if you ask. Choose "Suggest a grade" to get a grade on your country's scale with a justification; otherwise you get feedback only.
Can I use my own criteria or rubric?
Yes. Type or paste the assignment and your criteria in the optional box, and the feedback and any suggested grade are based on them.
Will it invent mistakes?
It's instructed to list only real errors, each with a quote, the correction and the rule. Always check the result before sharing it: you have the final word.
Is student data safe?
You don't need names or a student account to get feedback. Leave surnames out and paste just the text.
Can I check handwritten work?
Yes. Add a photo of the page and the text is read from it. Check that the handwriting was read correctly before relying on the feedback.
Is the essay feedback generator free?
Yes. It's free for teachers: sign up for a free Edform account, no credit card needed.
