Use case
AI essay detector: check the process, not just the prose
Essays are where AI shortcuts are most tempting, and where text detectors are least reliable. Learnaway checks how the essay was built instead of guessing from its style.
Catches the tell-tale paste
A 600-word essay that arrived in one paste, with no typing beforehand, is a clear, explainable signal.
Spots transcription rhythm
Re-typing AI output tends to produce unnaturally uniform keystroke timing, something genuine composition rarely does.
Compares effort to output
An essay finished implausibly fast for its length gets flagged with the actual numbers behind it.
Frequently asked
- Can it analyse an essay I already have as a file?
- Learnaway needs to observe the writing process, so essays are written through a Learnaway link. A finished file alone has already lost the most useful evidence.
- Does this work on ChatGPT-generated essays?
- Yes. When a student pastes AI-generated text rather than writing it themselves, the paste event, the timing, and the lack of editing activity are all captured and flagged. Learnaway doesn't read the prose, so it works regardless of how convincing the AI output sounds.
