Markaloud — Talk through your marking. Let the AI do the sorting.
Markaloud is an AI-powered academic feedback tool for universities. It transcribes the lecturer's spoken marking and drafts written feedback from it, with suggested marks against the rubric when one is used. The lecturer reviews and edits everything before it reaches a student.

How it works
- Record or upload. Speak your feedback naturally into your browser, or upload pre-recorded audio. AI flags possible transcription errors so you can review before generating feedback.
- Select your rubric. Choose from 7 pre-built templates — essays, lab reports, dissertations, presentations, code and more. Or build your own, import from Excel, or pull from Canvas.
- Get structured feedback. AI drafts written feedback from what you said, sorted by rubric criterion, with suggested marks. You review and edit it, then export to PDF or Word or push it to Canvas.
Why dictation, not AI marking
Markaloud transcribes your spoken marking and drafts written feedback from it, with suggested marks against the rubric when you use one. You review and edit everything before it reaches a student, because academic judgement is the job, and it's the part students, examiners and regulators trust you to do.
- Transcribes your voice, accurately
- Organises comments against your rubric
- Suggests marks against your rubric, from what you said
- Drafts a clean report you can edit
- Aggregates cohort data you asked for
