Case Study: eDoctrina accelerates classroom assessment processing with Itera Research AI handwriting recognition

eDoctrina serves 1 million users with Itera Research

eDoctrina, an educational technology platform, faced a significant challenge in K-12 schools where the reliance on handwritten paper assessments created a heavy manual burden of grading and data entry. Existing generic OCR tools failed to handle the variations in student handwriting and scan quality. Partnering with Itera Research, eDoctrina needed a reliable way to process these paper exams without forcing schools to abandon them.

Itera Research implemented an AI-powered handwriting recognition solution specifically designed for educational use. The system processed scanned paper forms from standard school copiers, turning handwritten answers into structured data that integrated directly into eDoctrina's assessment, reporting, and curriculum modules. This solution eliminated manual transcription, shortened grading cycles, and provided faster access to data. The results were achieved at a massive scale, with the platform supporting over 1 million users across more than 1,000 districts in over 20 U.S. states.
