Run your essay through TextSight to understand how it reads to AI detectors. Then improve flagged sentences for clarity and authenticity — using our one-click AI rewriter for the ones that need it.
Your school is running every essay you submit through an AI detector. Turnitin, GPTZero, Originality, Copyleaks — by the start of the 2025-26 academic year, 87% of US universities and a growing share of high schools had at least one detector wired into their LMS. The detector runs in parallel with the submission, so the score is available to instructors as soon as the assignment is turned in.
That's fine when you used AI and got flagged for it. The problem is the false-positive rate. Multiple peer-reviewed studies in 2024 and 2025 found mainstream detectors flag 30–40% of human-written essays as AI — especially essays from non-native English speakers, neurodivergent students, and anyone who writes in a polished academic register. The pattern matches AI training data. The detector can't tell the difference.
TextSight is the same kind of tool your school uses, but you run it first. You see what the detector sees. You fix only the sentences pulling your score up. You submit knowing what your essay looks like through the algorithm's eyes.
Turnitin and similar tools now flag 30-40% of human-written student essays as AI. Once it's on your academic record, removing the flag is hard.
You're hitting the deadline. You don't need a full rewrite — you need to know which sentences to fix and a fast way to fix them.
You looked something up with ChatGPT, then wrote in your own words. Detectors still flag the structure because you absorbed the rhythm.
Most AI rewriters rewrite everything in the same generic style. Your professor reads it and now your "voice" sounds like every other student's.
Originality, GPTZero, Turnitin AI, Copyleaks — schools are switching tools every term. You need to pass detection across all of them, not just one.
Paste your essay (up to 25,000 chars on Pro) and get an Authenticity Score 0-100 in under 30 seconds. Scan unlimited times — no daily cap on Pro.
See exactly which 5-8 sentences read as AI, ranked by severity. Fix only what's flagged. The rest of your work stays untouched.
Three modes — Light, Balanced, Maximum. Light keeps your voice almost identical and just smooths AI patterns. Maximum is for when you need the score below 30%.
3 scans per day, 5,000 chars per scan, 2 AI rewriter uses for life — no credit card. Most students never need to upgrade.

No more than using Grammarly. TextSight is a writing tool that helps you understand how your text reads. It doesn't write for you. Your school's academic integrity policy is the source of truth — most allow assistive writing tools.
Significantly less likely. Turnitin's AI detector flags the same patterns TextSight flags. After rewriting the sentences pulling your score up, the same patterns are gone. Not a guarantee — detectors disagree on edge cases — but the flagged sections are addressed.
About 30 seconds for a 2,000-word essay. The AI rewriter is similar — 30-60 seconds depending on how many sentences need rewriting.
No. Scans are private to your TextSight account. Nothing is shared with your institution unless you explicitly share a link or PDF report.
Yes — all major models are detected with the same accuracy. The detector is updated when new models release. Same goes for the AI rewriter.
Whether you are running a first-year essay, a senior thesis, or a research paper, these six capabilities ship on every TextSight plan, including the Free tier. None of them require a credit card to try.
Paste an essay before you click Submit on your LMS and see the same kind of AI score your school will see. You can revise risky sentences while the deadline still gives you room to think, instead of explaining a flag after the fact.
The Light and Balanced AI rewriter modes keep your sentence rhythm, vocabulary range, and argument structure intact. Your professor still hears you on the page, not a generic rewrite bot speaking in your place.
When a detector flags writing you actually wrote, the score alone is not evidence. TextSight gives you a downloadable PDF report with timestamps, sentence-level reasoning, and version history that you can attach to an academic-integrity appeal.
If your advisor or honour-board chair asks why a section reads as AI, you can show them the exact 4 to 7 sentences responsible and the linguistic patterns behind each one. Concrete evidence is far more persuasive than a single percentage.
The Free tier gives you 3 scans every day with no credit card, no trial countdown, and no email upsell loop. For most undergrads writing one essay a week, that is already more capacity than the workload demands.
Paste a paragraph into app.textsight.ai and you get a result without an account. Useful if you are between classes and just want to spot-check a tricky paragraph before deciding whether the tool is worth saving in your study workflow.

Eight of the most common questions we hear from students, undergrad through PhD. Honest answers, including the ones where the answer is uncomfortable.
No. TextSight is a private tool tied only to your account. We do not integrate with Turnitin, Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, or any university LMS. Your school sees the essay you upload to them, not the drafts you ran through us first. The only way they learn you used TextSight is if you tell them or if you share a TextSight report link voluntarily, for example as part of an academic-integrity appeal.
False positives are common on essays from students who write in a polished academic register, students with a STEM background, and students who learned English from formal sources. Detectors are trained to flag patterns like even sentence length, frequent transitional phrases, and lack of contractions. Those are AI tells, but they are also the markers of clean academic prose. TextSight shows you which specific patterns trip the model so you can vary cadence and contractions selectively without rewriting your whole essay.
ESL writers are the single highest false-positive group across every major detector, including the one your school runs. We will not pretend that is solved, but TextSight gives you something most detectors do not: the exact sentence patterns that trigger the score. That lets you keep your meaning intact while breaking the rhythmic patterns the detector reads as AI. Several writing-centre tutors use TextSight precisely as an ESL coaching aid, not as a verdict tool.
Honest answer: TextSight is not a substitute for writing your own work. What TextSight does well is help you address sentence patterns that flag honest writing. If your essay is genuinely yours and a detector misreads it, the AI rewriter plus the evidence report give you a clear path forward. If the essay is not yours, no AI rewriter on the market can give you confidence, and we recommend writing the essay yourself.
Yes, and we encourage it when relevant. If you used TextSight as part of your writing or editing process and your institution requires AI-tool disclosure, cite it as a writing assistant in your methodology or acknowledgements section. A typical citation looks like: "AI detection and editing assistance was provided by TextSight (https://app.textsight.ai/). Final wording and argument were authored by [your name]." Check your supervisor or department style guide for the exact format they prefer.
We cannot guarantee the verdict of every third-party detector, so we recommend the free tier first — no card required — to confirm TextSight works for your essays before you pay. Paid plans are billed up front and aren't refundable, but you can cancel anytime to stop future renewals, so you're never locked into a contract.
The simplest path: have your parent enter their card on your account at checkout. The subscription is tied to your login, not to the card. You can change the payment method later from the billing page without losing scan history. If your parent prefers a separate billing email, contact support and we will switch the receipt address while keeping the workspace on your account. We accept all major credit and debit cards, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay in supported regions.
3 free scans/day, no credit card required.
