Unified Digital Assessment Platform

Run Every Exam Type. One AI-Powered Platform. Now Paperless.

DigiAssess powers theory, practical, clinical, workplace, and handwritten assessments within one intelligent system. With Tably integration, natural handwriting becomes instantly digital, eliminating paper, scanning, and operational delays.

Why Are Handwritten Exams Still Paper-Based in a Digital World?

Despite digital transformation, universities continue to rely on paper for handwritten exams because existing digital solutions fail to support secure, scalable handwriting. Consumer tablets, scanning workflows, and typed exams compromise academic validity, introduce operational risk, and cannot reliably replace paper in high-stakes assessments.

Security Gaps in Digital Tools

Consumer tablets and generic exam software lack exam-grade security, creating risks across question delivery, exam conduct, and script handling.

Operational Burden

Printing, transport, storage, and scanning introduce manual effort, delays, and governance complexity across every exam cycle.

Handwriting Limitations

Typed exams and basic digital tools fail to support equations, diagrams, and annotations required in medicine, engineering, and language assessments.

The Exam Writing Tablet

Tably: The First Exam Writing Tablet Built for Secure Assessments

Tably introduces a new category in assessment technology which the exam writing tablet. It is a purpose-built handwritten exam capture device that connects directly to the student’s exam computer and works only with DigiAssess. With no internet, operating system, applications, or local storage, Tably digitises handwritten exams without changing exam conduct.

How Tably Works

A secure, offline workflow designed specifically for conducting handwritten exams using an exam writing tablet.

During the Exam

Students access handwritten exams through DigiAssess on their exam computer. The Tably exam writing tablet connects via wired connection, capturing handwriting in real time within the secure digital assessment session.

After the Exam

When the exam ends, handwritten exam scripts are already stored inside DigiAssess. No scanning, uploading, or post-exam digitisation is required, enabling faster evaluation and reduced operational effort.

Evaluation and Governance

Faculty evaluate handwritten exams digitally using DigiAssess with on-screen marking, rubric-based scoring, outcome mapping, and accreditation-ready reporting, delivering full governance across the handwritten digital assessment lifecycle.

Distribute and Write Handwritten Exams

During exams, the students simply bring their Tably, connect via USB, and start writing immediately with no logins, no configuration, and no technical friction, ensuring a consistent, familiar writing experience across every assessment.

Secure Capture of Handwritten Responses

As students write, Tably captures each stroke instantly as clean digital ink — preserving diagrams, circuits, equations, and working exactly as written, without paper, scanning, or post-exam digitization.

Dock and Sync Exam Data Securely

After the exam, exam writing tablets are returned to the dock. Handwritten responses sync locally with DigiAssess for evaluation and grading, eliminating Wi-Fi dependency and network bottlenecks.

Security & Governance

Built for high-stakes handwritten exams, designed to meet strict security and governance requirements. Aligned ISO 27001 standards for secure assessment data handling.

All handwritten exam responses are encrypted directly on the exam writing tablet using hardware-level AES-256 encryption. Data remains protected even if a device is lost, stolen, or physically compromised.

After the exam, exam writing tablets are docked for secure local synchronization. Handwritten responses transfer directly to DigiAssess without exposing data to public networks or cloud-based risks.

Designed to meet the security expectations of universities, accreditation bodies, and government examination boards.
