Features (detailed) -- Work in Progress

MATCHA's feature set is organized into integrity, productivity, organizational, and pro feature groups.

Integrity Features

  • Certified Edit History: replay signed text edits and verify the document was produced through normal writing activity.
  • Copy‑Paste Control: prevent or constrain paste‑in content from other apps, while allowing editing within the document and copy/paste from the built‑in browser.
  • Certified .docx: export cryptographically signed .docx files that can be verified as MATCHA outputs with specific settings.
  • Complete Work History: extend the audit trail to browsing activity, scrolls, clicks, and editor movement.
  • Single-App Mode: enforce fullscreen focus and make app switching materially harder during supervised or unsupervised writing.
  • Check‑In: require supervised entry into activities using MATCHA Proctor and QR-based verification.
  • Cheating Reports: allow students to discreetly alert proctors to suspicious behavior.
  • Follow-up quizzes: support post-submission checks tied to a student's own work.

Productivity Features

  • Built-In Browser: keep approved readings, LMS content, and web research inside MATCHA.
  • Reference Management: import bibliographies and insert citations directly in the writing flow.
  • Rich Text Editing: support tables, figures, notes, references, and math without turning the editor into a formatting maze.
  • Notes: keep outlines, quotations, and scratch work separate from the main submission while still tracking edits.

Organizational Features

  • Enterprise-Ready Activity Management: organize institutions, courses, roles, settings, and reusable configurations.
  • Anonymous Submission: support blind grading by omitting participant identity from generated submission files.
  • Cloud Submissions: collect submission files and replay artifacts through common cloud-storage workflows.

Writer Pro Features

  • Detailed writeups for MATCHA Writer Pro features are still to come.
