AI text detector: read how text was entered, not how it reads
AI text detectors that classify prose style face a widening challenge: as AI writing improves, the signals they rely on erode. Learnaway takes a different approach, observing how text was entered rather than how it reads. Paste events, keystroke timing, and completion speed are concrete, stable signals that don't depend on how convincing the AI output sounds.
Style-blind by design
Learnaway ignores the words entirely. A large paste with no preceding keystrokes is suspicious whether the AI-generated text sounds stilted or indistinguishable from human writing.
Concrete, explainable signals
Every result cites a specific measurement: the size of a paste event, the cadence variance across keystrokes, or the time from first keystroke to submission. No black-box scores.
Fair to every student
Because it never reads the text, Learnaway produces the same quality of signals for EAL students, students who write simply, and advanced writers. Language background is irrelevant.
Free to use in your classroom
Individual teachers get 200 submissions per month at no cost. Students just open a link; no accounts, installs, or IT involvement needed.
Frequently asked
- How is an AI text detector different from a plagiarism checker?
- A plagiarism checker compares text against a source database to find copied passages. An AI text detector classifies whether prose was AI-generated. Learnaway does neither: it reads the writing process, so it catches AI use regardless of whether the text has been paraphrased or edited afterwards.
- Can this detect AI text that a student has edited?
- Yes. Editing after pasting doesn't erase the original paste event. AI-generated text that arrives as a large paste and is later lightly edited still shows a very different process from genuine drafting from scratch.
- Does Learnaway analyse the text itself?
- No. Learnaway captures only event metadata: event types, timestamps, timing deltas, and lengths. The characters a student types are never captured or stored. This is both a privacy feature and what makes the signals style-neutral.
