Show what you know, even when you can't write it.

Dysfixed builds AI tools for students who know the answer but can't get it onto the page by hand, because of dysgraphia, dyspraxia, other neurodevelopmental conditions or an injury.

Understanding isn't the problem. The page is.

Students with dysgraphia and dyspraxia lose points for handwriting, not for what they know. On exams, many need a scribe: a person who sits with them for the whole test and writes down every answer.

Colleges and schools are required to provide those scribes, and more students need them every year, faster than schools can keep up. Free dictation tools struggle with spoken math and keep no record of what the student said.

Dysfixed Scribe

An AI exam scribe for STEM, on the web and Mac. Say the answer out loud, math included. Scribe writes it down exactly as spoken, as formatted equations and scientific notation, reads each line back for you to confirm, and saves the audio and transcript so your professor can check them.

How Scribe works

Say your answer the way you'd explain it, equations and all.

Speak

1

Scribe turns your words into text and formatted math, exactly as you said them.

See it written

2

Each line is read back so you can check it before moving on.

Confirm

3

Submit with a record

4

The audio and transcript are saved for your professor to review.

Fair by design

Exact transcription

No autocorrect, no word prediction, no rewriting. Scribe never fixes, finishes or improves an answer, because exam rules require answers to be recorded exactly as the student gives them.

A record to check

Every line is read back to the student before it's final, and the audio and transcript are saved so the professor can check them.

Private in exam mode

In exam mode, speech recognition runs on the student's device, so no audio is sent to our servers.

Colleges and schools are required to provide exam scribes, and today that usually means a person sitting with each student for the whole exam. Scribe lets your office offer the same accommodation without booking a person for every test, with a full record of each answer.
