Interesting, my opinion is
I personally like the idea of an automated grading tool, because I think the benefits are two fold, in that they remove prejudice from grading, which is still a major issue and they always make things more clear and cut, there's no grey area, people will know exactly what they've gotten wrong and why. All these applications are the future anyway, as time progresses, we may even transistion to internet schooling.

Re: Thanks
My friend wrote a story about his cat that was grammatically correct,and used big words, but made little to no sense. The auto-grader program told him he was approaching PHD level English. So he took his paper into school and showed it to the English teachers who reviled at it. He was like,"Show's what you know, the computer told me I'm university level."How To Get Dissertation Writing Service

Automated scoring for writing has been around for a few years now. I wrote about the debate on the issue in 2012 in Automated Systems 'Grade' Written Work

re: Automated Essay Grading Software Stirs Debate
I know Pearson's WriteToLearn is still actively being sold and is in use in schools. ETS, as I recall, licensed its Criterion service, based on its E-Rater engine, to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for use in its digital products in K-12 and still offers it directly for other education segments. Vantage Learning's My Access product, based on its IntelliMetric engine, appears to still be available for school and home. (I found active pages for each via Google.)

Side note: Oddly, the harder task is not so much providing good feedback on essays, it's being able to do the same with short answers. That's sort of the Holy Grail of automated text scoring, and I don't know of any organization that has been able to comprehensively nail that.
