Keeping watch during the exam, as closely as it needs.
Once the paper is open, ExamLense keeps an eye on the sitting the way a good invigilator would: is the candidate still there, are they alone, is anything on their screen that should not be. You choose how closely each exam is watched.
Switched on for this exam
The candidate sees this list for the whole sitting.
Like the invigilator walking the aisles.
In an exam hall, the invigilator does not film every candidate. They walk the room, notice when somebody leaves their seat or whispers to a neighbour, and write it down for the chief examiner.
ExamLense works the same way, at three levels. A weekly quiz gets a light touch. A professional licensing exam gets the whole sitting recorded. The exam decides, not the price list.
How it works, step by step.
- 01
The checks start with the paper
Camera on, full screen, one display. A small strip at the top of the page tells the candidate exactly what is being watched.
- 02
The computer does the routine watching
Is a face in view, is there a second face, has the camera been covered or frozen. These checks run on the candidate’s own computer, so very little has to travel over the internet.
- 03
Moments that matter are noted
Leaving the exam window, a second screen, an AI assistant or a messaging app, a voice in the room. Each is written down with the time, and on Standard and Pro a picture or short clip is kept.
- 04
A person decides
Nothing here ends an exam or accuses anybody. Whatever is noted goes to a trained reviewer, who looks at it and decides.
What it means for you.
-
Your examinations office
Pick the level exam by exam, so close watching is paid for only where the stakes justify it.
-
Your candidates
They can see what is switched on at all times. If something stops working, like the camera, the screen says what went wrong and how to fix it, and their answers are kept while they do.

Reviewers
Every flag arrives with the moment it happened and, on Standard and Pro, the picture or clip behind it.
- No. Nothing ends an exam automatically. Looking away is noted, and a person decides whether it matters. Most of the time it does not.
- The exam is covered with a message explaining what went wrong and how to fix it. Once the camera is back, the candidate carries on where they were, with their answers kept.
- On every level it spots known AI add-ons in the browser. On Standard and Pro the screen itself is checked for AI assistants and messaging apps, and the camera watches for a phone or a second person. No system catches everything, which is exactly why a person reviews what is found.
- Only on Pro. On Lite nothing visual is kept at all. On Standard, only short pieces around the moments that matter are kept.
- Lite asks the least of a connection. On every level, pictures are only sent when something has changed, and answers are saved as the candidate goes.
Words you may hear.
- Flag
- A note that something happened at a particular moment. A flag is a question, not a verdict.
- Screen sharing
- The candidate letting the exam see their whole screen, needed on Standard and Pro.
- Second camera
- On Pro, a phone propped beside the candidate to show their hands and desk.
