If you wish to subscribe to Kaligo after your trial period, you can directly contact our sales team, who will provide you with a quote.
Is Kaligo compatible with my tablet?
Kaligo is compatible with iOS and Android devices. For effective use of Kaligo, make sure your operating system is up to date. The requirements for using Kaligo are:
- iOS (version 13.5 minimum and 2GB RAM)
- Android (version 8.1 minimum and 2GB RAM)
Do I need an Internet connection to use Kaligo?
You need an Internet connection for the lessons and exercises you assign to your students to be synchronised with the application, making them visible to the students. Additionally, you need an Internet connection when scanning your QR code. You also need an Internet connection to synchronise exercise results with your teacher portal once your students have completed their work on Kaligo.
Apart from these three actions, it is possible to use Kaligo without an Internet connection (although this is not recommended).
I downloaded the app, but it is asking for a QR code, and I don't have access to the content. What should I do?
To enable your students to work with Kaligo, you first need to create a student profile for each of them in your teacher portal. Once the profile is created, a QR code is automatically and specifically generated for each student. You can access each student’s QR code directly from your teacher portal, on each student’s profile. You can also download the QR codes for your entire class in PDF format. Students can then scan their QR code using the Kaligo app on their tablet to access Kaligo.

Do I absolutely need a stylus to work with Kaligo?
To ensure a good writing experience, we recommend that students using Kaligo use a stylus. Additionally, any stylus compatible with your tablet is also compatible with Kaligo. Please note that exercises related to pressure sensitivity require a stylus with pressure recognition technology, such as the Apple Pencil.
Why do some exercises require an active stylus?
Pressure-sensitive exercises require a stylus equipped with pressure recognition technology, such as the Apple Pencil Gen 1 and 2.

Functionality & Content
I downloaded the application, but it's asking me for a QR code, and I don't have access to the content. What should I do?
To enable your students to work with Kaligo, you first need to create a student profile for each of them in your teacher portal. Once the profile is created, a QR code is automatically and specifically generated for each student. You can access each student’s QR code directly from your teacher portal, on each student’s profile. You can also download the QR codes for your entire class in PDF format. Students can then scan their QR code using the Kaligo app on their tablet to access Kaligo.
Why do I see two areas with exercises?
When children work with Kaligo, they can either work on the exercises you have assigned to them or practice exercises from the practice mode. In this training module, your students will find ready-made exercises designed by teachers (writing, word dictation, grammar, conjugation, etc.).
Can multiple teachers manage the same class?
Yes! Each teacher who wants to work with Kaligo must have their own profile in their school’s teacher portal. Once each teacher’s profile is created, they can easily be assigned to the corresponding class. Each teacher assigned to a class can track the progress and results of their students. Multiple teachers can be assigned to the same class. A teacher can also be assigned to multiple classes.
I don't see the exercises I created on the tablet. What should I do?
There could be several reasons for this:
- Ensure Assignment: First, make sure you have correctly assigned the lessons to the relevant students. You can assign lessons in your teacher portal, directly for each session.
- Check QR Codes: Each student profile has two QR codes: one for homework and one for in-class exercises. Verify that you have scanned the correct QR code. You can also check in your teacher portal whether the lesson is marked as “Classwork” or “Homework”.
How often should Kaligo be used?
It depends on the class level, teacher expectations, and students’ familiarity with devices. One option is to use Kaligo in small groups for about 20 minutes, alternating between pen and paper, approximately 2 or 3 times a week. Results are typically noticeable after a month of using Kaligo.
Technical Issues
What happens if the application crashes while the children are doing exercises?
The last completed exercise is displayed in the teacher portal. If the application crashes in the middle of an exercise, students just need to reopen it by logging in with their QR code and ensuring they are connected to the internet. They can then continue working as usual.
I want to create a test account, but I'm being told that my email address already exists. How can I still test Kaligo?
If you’re receiving this message, it means you’ve already created an account in the past. If you wish to continue using the same version of Kaligo and your account has expired, you can contact our team for assistance.
I'm not receiving the email to create my password. What should I do?
First, check that this email isn’t in your spam or junk folder. If it’s not there, you can trigger the resend of this email. To do this, click on the “Forgot Password?” field on the Kaligo login page. If you’re still unable to receive this email after several attempts, don’t hesitate to contact our support team via the chat bubble in the bottom right corner or through our contact form.
Should I update the Kaligo application?
We recommend updating your Kaligo application regularly. This ensures that you benefit from the latest features of the application and also ensures better performance and security. Our advice: you can configure your devices so that all Kaligo applications are updated automatically.
On my teacher account, I don't see the results of the exercises my students have completed. Where are they?
Student results are synchronised with your teacher portal at the end of a completed exercise. If this is not the case, check that the students have indeed completed the exercise. If you don’t see the results even though the exercise is completed, make sure that the tablets used by the students are properly connected to the internet.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
What does Kaligo's AI do exactly?
In principle, Kaligo’s AI has two functions. Firstly, Kaligo recognises and illustrates students’ mistakes. Poorly traced letters or misspelled words are flagged, and errors are indicated and explained (incorrect direction or order of writing strokes, etc.). Secondly, the AI creates individualised learning paths for each child: remediation. For example, in writing exercises, this means that initially, all students practice writing the same word, but then each focuses on the letters that are problematic for them. To learn more about our AI, check out our article on the subject.
Is the AI adapted to my teaching?
Each new version of Kaligo is built with input from teachers and according to the school curriculum of each country. The writing models (letter shapes, order and direction of strokes, line styles) found in Kaligo have been developed with these educators. The AI has been trained using data from students from various countries. Furthermore, the different versions of Kaligo have features that allow them to adapt to different teaching practices in various territories (specific fonts, specialised terminology, etc.).
Can I adjust the AI, or is its operation fixed?
The operation and analysis points of the AI are fixed. However, you have the option to make them more strict or more lenient, for example, by using different letter models or increasing the margin of error.

Processing of personal data
What personal data is required for using Kaligo?
Using Kaligo primarily requires two types of personal data: firstly, data for creating the Kaligo account (email address of the responsible teacher, first and last names of other teachers, possibly billing information, etc.), and secondly, data for creating and distinguishing between different student profiles. In this case, while certain personal data of the children is indeed requested, only indicating the first name is mandatory to differentiate between students. If you prefer not to provide this information, you can certainly use pseudonyms. More detailed information can be found in our personal data processing policy.
How are personal data processed?
Kaligo and all our processes are GDPR-compliant. We do not collect so-called “sensitive” personal data via our websites or our products and services. We do not sell personal data to third parties. We may transmit personal data to our business partners and subcontractors in other countries of the European Union, which are also subject to the European data protection regulation. Our servers are located in France and demonstrate the highest level of security. They thus guarantee a high level of availability, integrity, and confidentiality of data.
How long are personal data retained?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as the services that may be of interest to you are available. If you have a customer account with us, we will only retain your data as long as your account is active or as long as necessary to provide you with peripheral services such as support or satisfaction tracking, to enable us to fulfill our general, legal, and contractual obligations.
If there is no contact or contractual or pre-contractual relationship for more than 3 years, your personal data will be deleted.
