Students speak their ideas onto the page. You manage it effortlessly.
Stories, reports and essays, spoken or typed. Teachers assign, review and reuse. Schools buy seats. One quiet place for all of it, built in Canada.
Speak. Shape. Share.
Three steps, in this order, every time a class writes. Hover each one.
Speak
Students dictate and the words land on the page with their punctuation. Typing works too. Nothing a student says is kept as a recording.
Shape
Read it to me plays the piece back in a clear voice, so students hear what they wrote. A feedback bank in your words helps them fix it themselves.
Share
You review finished pieces, see how each one came together, and leave feedback the student hears or reads. Pieces can be published to the class.
Assign. Review. Reuse.
Your day on JotJay is three screens, and all of them are quiet.
Pick a lesson, change five things, publish.
Hundreds of lessons by grade band, each with a worksheet, a watch-at-home version and a read-aloud. Customize the idea, the length, the helpers, the due date and who sees it. Print the worksheet if you want paper.

See how a piece came together.
Every piece shows its sittings, its time, what was dictated and what was typed, and which words moved. Facts for you, never a verdict about the student. Listen or read, then leave feedback they can hear.
How this piece came together
Writing insights- Mostly dictated; the ending was typed
- Three feedback notes answered
- No text pasted in from elsewhere
Plan the whole year once.
Lay the year out by term in your library. Finished assignments, your feedback bank and your word bank carry over. Term marks snapshot when you say so, with weights you set.

Built for schools, run by the school.
One school page covers seats, teachers and lesson packs. No IT project, no spreadsheet of logins.
Seats, not licences
Buy a band of teacher seats. Invite teachers by email or a shared link; a seat is held until they sign in.
Lesson packs you choose
English, French, Social Studies and First Nations language packs, switched on per school.
Private by design
Admins see counts, never student work. Teachers see their classes. Students see their own pieces.
Ready in an afternoon
Tell us about your school. We set it up, the office gets a welcome email, teachers join by link or school email. Students open their class link.
Lessons ready for Monday.
Hundreds of lessons by grade band and language, each with a worksheet, a watch-at-home version and a read-aloud in a clear voice.
What JotJay never does.
Plain promises, in the words we use inside the product.
- Never sells or shares student data.No ads, no data brokers, no training on student writing.
- Never keeps a student's voice.Speech is turned into text and the audio is discarded.
- Never calls a student a cheat.Writing insights show how a piece came together. They are facts for the teacher, never a verdict.
- Never shows admins student work.The school page is counts only: teachers, seats, packs.
