Check your own writing before submission to avoid false positives from Turnitin and other institutional detectors.

Why Students Need Self-Check Tools#
AI detection tools used by universities — particularly Turnitin’s built-in AI detector — sometimes flag human-written text as AI-generated. False positives are especially common with non-native English writers, formulaic academic writing, and highly structured technical content. Self-checking before submission lets you see how your work scores and decide whether to add more of your own voice before turning it in.
How to Use This Tool#
Paste your essay, paragraph, or paper section into the checker above. You’ll get an AI probability score (0–100%), a five-signal breakdown, and a plain-English verdict. For best results, submit at least a full paragraph (150+ characters). The result is a probability, not a verdict — use it to identify sections that might raise flags and rewrite them in your own voice.
What to Do If Your Writing Scores High#
If a section you genuinely wrote scores AI-leaning, here’s what to consider:
- Vary sentence length. Mix short punchy sentences with longer complex ones — this is the “burstiness” signal.
- Cut formulaic transitions. Replace “Furthermore,” “Moreover,” and “In conclusion” with more varied connectors or none at all.
- Use specific, unusual word choices. AI text uses statistically common vocabulary; humans pick less predictable words.
- Add personal voice. Anecdotes, opinions, and asides are hard for AI to produce naturally.
Privacy: Your Writing Stays Yours#
We never store the text you submit. Each scan is processed in real time and discarded immediately. We don’t require accounts, log submissions, or track you across sessions. See our privacy policy for details.
This Tool Is Not Turnitin#
We’re not affiliated with Turnitin and our results aren’t guaranteed to match Turnitin’s. Our detection uses the same kinds of signals (perplexity, burstiness, structure) but a different model. Treat our score as one data point: if our tool says your work is human-leaning, it’s a positive signal, but it doesn’t guarantee Turnitin will agree.
