Essay AI checker

Check your essay. Keep your evidence.

An essay AI checker can give you another perspective on a draft before submission. It cannot certify academic integrity or predict an instructor’s decision. Use AI Detect alongside your assignment rules, source notes, citations, and version history.

  • 5 free checks per day
  • Keep drafts and source notes
  • No Turnitin score prediction

Detection Score

Higher means a stronger AI writing signal. This is an estimate, not proof of authorship.

Readability

Rates how easy the text is to read on a scale from 0 to 100 — higher scores mean easier reading.

Grade Level

Indicates the U.S. school grade level needed to understand the text — higher education levels mean more complex reading.

A practical workflow

An essay check that supports your writing

  1. 01

    Save your draft

    Keep the version you wrote before making changes. Preserve your outline, notes, and references so your writing process is clear.

  2. 02

    Review a coherent section

    Check a connected passage within your word limit. For longer essays, review sections separately without treating them as an official whole-essay result.

  3. 03

    Revise for a real reason

    Fix unsupported claims, explain your reasoning, and cite sources accurately. Do not replace words just to chase a detector percentage.

What if your own essay is flagged?

A flag is not proof of wrongdoing. Read the relevant passage, preserve your drafts, and follow your school’s process if a concern arises. Be ready to explain your argument, evidence, and revisions in your own words. Do not rewrite strong, original work solely to satisfy a score.

AI detection and academic integrity are different questions

Your course may permit some uses of AI and prohibit others. A checker cannot interpret those rules for you. Disclose permitted assistance as required, cite sources appropriately, and make sure you understand every claim you submit. A reassuring score does not make prohibited assistance acceptable.

Frequently asked questions

Can this tell me my Turnitin result?

No. AI Detect is independent of Turnitin and uses a different system. Its result does not predict a Turnitin report or a school’s decision.

Should I remove quotations before checking?

Keep quotations clearly identified. You may review your own prose separately, but keep the submitted essay and its citations intact. A check of an excerpt applies only to that excerpt.

Is it safe to rely on a “human” result?

A score is only an estimate. Review your assignment policy, citations, and understanding of the topic regardless of the result.
