You're in Control of Every AI Decision

Accept Typed Responses or Handwritten Work

Students can type a response or upload an image or PDF. Both are supported, graded, and get the same feedback on submission.

Write Any Prompt, Attach Any Media

Write your prompt and add context students need, like an image, audio clip, video, or link. Use AI Context to add background for the grading model.

Turn On Instant Feedback, or Leave It Off

Instant feedback is optional. If you turn it on, choose what students see: grammar insights, a suggested response, a proficiency level estimate, or any combination. Feedback matches your standard and appears in the student's native language.

Grade Automatically, or Manually

Automatic grading is optional. If you turn it on, choose a method: Pass-Fail, Standards-Based, or Rubric scoring. Each one grades as students submit.

“With Speakable, feedback is now FULL POWER. Within 24 hours of posting my first assignment, 8 students came up to me, completely unsolicited, to tell me how much they ENJOYED that assignment.”
