Honorlock
Online exam proctoring combining AI monitoring with live human proctors
About
Honorlock provides remote proctoring for higher education and professional credentialing, blending AI-driven monitoring with live human proctors. The AI records webcam, microphone, and screen, flagging behaviors like talking, looking away, or accessing search engines, while a live proctor can pop in only when the AI detects a potential issue — the company positions this as less anxiety-inducing than constant human observation. Features include ID verification, browser lockdown, secondary-device and cell-phone detection, voice keyword detection, and Search and Destroy, which hunts for leaked test questions online. Exams run on demand 24/7 with no scheduling, and it integrates with major LMS platforms plus tools like MyMathLab, ALEKS, Pearson, and McGraw Hill. In April 2025 it was selected as a preferred proctoring vendor by the Utah Education Network after a competitive RFP. Pricing is institutional and quote-based.
