Recorded work
Hear the work, grade it and answer in your own voice
Set an assignment that pupils answer by recording, grade each take with a letter or a score, and send back a comment and a recording of your own.

For the pupil
Record in the browser
A pupil records a take on a phone or laptop, up to 15 minutes, or uploads a file instead. Nothing to install, and the recording waits on the page until it has been sent.
Hear your teacher's version
Attach your own recording of the piece, the passage or the speech. Pupils play it beside their own take.
Take after take
Each new take is a new hand-in, and each take is graded on its own. You can close an assignment to new takes when it is done.
Plays on an iPhone
Recordings are served so that phones can play and skip through them.
For the teacher
Reply in your own voice
Play the take, grade it, write a comment and record a reply the pupil can play: a phrase sung back, a corrected pronunciation, a model sentence.
Letter grades
Grade A+ to C instead of a number, on an assignment that uses letters. The pupil, the gradebook and the reports show the letter.
Compare with the last take
The earlier graded take is beside the new one, so you can hear what changed.
Children and parents
A child records under a parent's account on the family device. The parent hears every take and the teacher's feedback, with the parent's consent in place.

Questions and answers
Which plans include recorded work?
All of them: the free trial and free plan (up to 30 learners), the Teacher plan and the Training plans. Recording and letter grades are not held back from the Teacher plan.
Who is it for?
Teachers of music, languages and speech and drama, anyone who needs to hear the work. It also suits spoken answers in any subject.
Does the pupil need an app?
No. A recording is made in the browser and the browser asks permission to use the microphone. Only pages that show a recorder ask for it.
Can I give a letter and a score?
An assignment is graded with a letter or with a number, not both. A letter-graded assignment never goes with a rubric or a coding question.
Are recordings private?
Yes. They are stored privately and played only for the pupil, the pupil's parents, and staff who may grade that work. They are erased with the organisation, and with a child when a parent withdraws consent.
Is there a practice tool?
There is a free metronome, tuner and drone at /practice-tools, working in the browser, and a practice log you can switch on for a batch.
