It would be awesome if a software does it for us! However, as we talked about the translator software, essay-grading also has some similar problems. Like Mr. Perelman mentioned in this article, it focuses on technical elements such as the number of words, and low or high frequency words... However, there are many more things to decide the quality of an essay such as cohesiveness and contents, which I don't think software is able to assess. Nevertheless, I really like the idea that West education office used. A collaboration work of a trained teacher and the software! In this way, the software can focus on what it can do, and the teacher can focus on what the software cannot do. I have never used any essay-grading software, but I am willing to try it!
