Cornell and Microsoft Research India tested a lesson planner with more than a thousand teachers in Karnataka. Its Kannada plans needed edits 96 percent of the time, yet teachers called 81 percent of them very good. Teachers said they saved two hours a week, and about 30,000 now use the tool in Telangana.
