A typical class with HoverScribble

Most teachers find their groove inside one lesson. Here is what that looks like.

Press the hotkey

Ctrl + Shift + P brings up the toolbar over whatever is on your screen. No alt-tabbing, no app switching.

Circle the key formula

Pen tool, your favorite color. Pressure-sensitive if you have a Wacom or Surface pen. Annotations live on top of your slide.

Switch to whiteboard for working out a problem

One click flips the screen to a clean whiteboard or blackboard. Solve the problem live, then dismiss back to the slide.

Use fading ink for emphasis

Strokes auto-clear after a few seconds. Perfect for "look at this word" without leaving annotation litter on the screen.

The tools that matter most for teaching

Out of HoverScribble's 20+ tools, these four are the ones every teacher we hear from uses every day.

Whiteboard & blackboard

One key flips your screen to a clean board. Great for working out a math problem or sketching a diagram, then dismissing back to your slide.

Fading ink

Strokes vanish after a few seconds. Perfect for emphasis ("look here") without your slide filling up with annotation litter.

Laser pointer

A virtual laser dot that follows your cursor. Way more visible to students on a Zoom call than your mouse pointer is.

Spotlight

Dims everything except a circle around your cursor. Use it to focus 30 students' attention on the one paragraph that matters.

Works on top of every tool you already teach with

HoverScribble draws a transparent overlay on top of any Windows app. Your students see your annotations through normal screen sharing, just like they see your cursor.

Teacher questions

Does HoverScribble work over Zoom and Google Meet?

Yes. HoverScribble draws a transparent overlay on top of any application on your screen, including Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex. Your annotations show up to anyone you share your screen with.

Can I annotate PowerPoint or PDFs during a lesson?

Yes. HoverScribble works on top of any Windows application, so you can mark up PowerPoint, Google Slides, PDFs, web pages, video players, or anything else on your screen without switching apps.

Does it work with my Wacom tablet or Surface pen?

Yes. HoverScribble has full stylus pressure sensitivity built in for any Windows Ink-compatible tablet, including Wacom, XP-Pen, Huion, Surface Pro, and similar devices. Use it like a real whiteboard marker.

Can students see my annotations during a screen-share?

Yes. Because HoverScribble draws on top of your screen, anything you draw is visible to students through normal screen sharing in Zoom, Meet, Teams, or any other tool.

Is there a discount for educators or bulk licensing?

HoverScribble is already a one-time $18 payment with lifetime updates and a 7-day free trial. If your school or district needs bulk licensing, email hoverscribble@gmail.com and we'll work something out.
