How it works

  1. Step 01

    Submit student work

    Paste or upload a piece of coursework — no special formatting needed.

  2. Step 02

    AI generates tailored questions

    Get questions across comprehension, argumentation, and authenticity, mapped to what you’re actually marking.

  3. Step 03

    Review, edit, and record

    You stay in control — edit any question, add your own, then record the viva.

Built for teachers

Every generated question is a starting point you can change. The tool prepares; you decide what gets asked.

  • AI question generation mapped to real marking criteria
  • Per-question teacher notes for what to listen for
  • Recommended questions for time-limited vivas
  • Audio recording and playback built in
  • Teacher edits and adds their own questions — AI is a starting point

Why viva voce matters

In an era where AI can produce polished written work in seconds, a short oral conversation is one of the clearest ways to verify a student’s own understanding of their work. It also deepens engagement — students have to think on their feet about the choices they made, not just recite them.

It is also where assessment guidance is heading, as exam boards look for more direct evidence of authentic student voice.
