TextSight does not plug into Moodle: there is no plugin, no LTI tool and no install link. To check a Moodle submission today, download the student's file and upload it to the TextSight web app, or highlight the text on the Moodle page and check it with the Chrome extension. Both need a free account.
What does not exist today: no TextSight plugin in the Moodle plugin directory, no LTI 1.3 tool, no install URL for your administrator. If you came here for a download link, that link does not exist yet.
What does exist today: the TextSight web app at app.textsight.ai, which takes pasted text or an uploaded file, and the Chrome extension, which checks a passage you highlight on any page, including a Moodle submission. Both run outside Moodle and need a TextSight account. Nothing is written back into Moodle's gradebook or submission record.
If you wanted to know whether Moodle itself checks for AI: it does not, unless your site administrator installed a third-party plugin. Our guide Does Moodle detect AI? covers what Moodle core does and how to tell which plugin your course uses. The Google Classroom page has a worked example of the same paste-and-scan check.
Two routes, both outside Moodle. Pick the one that fits how the work was submitted.

| Tool | How it connects to Moodle | What the source says |
|---|---|---|
| Copyleaks | Plagiarism plugin plagiarism_copyleaks, installed by a site administrator | Moodle 3.5 to 5.3; 462 installations listed (Moodle plugins directory). Moodle announced a Copyleaks partnership in April 2023 (Campus Technology). |
| Originality.ai | Plagiarism plugin plagiarism_origai | Moodle 3.9 to 5.3; assignments, quiz essay questions and forum posts; 58 installations listed (Moodle plugins directory, vendor page). |
| Pangram | Moodle plugin set up with the institution | Education plans only; scans assignment submissions and shows results beside them (Pangram help article). |
| Compilatio | Plugin installed after an advisor consultation | Four-step onboarding: consultation, technical sheet, install, teacher onboarding (vendor page). |
| GPTZero | Custom integration | Arranged with GPTZero's team, per its own guide (GPTZero, January 2026). |
| TextSight | None | No plugin and no LTI tool. Use the file upload or the Chrome extension described above. |
If your institution needs scores inside the Moodle grading view for every submission, one of the plugin vendors above fits that today and TextSight does not. TextSight fits an individual teacher checking the occasional submission by hand.
What a plugin would change compared with the copy-and-check workflow above. None of this exists in TextSight today.
There is no build date. Requests run through email and decide whether a plugin gets built at all.
We use the information to judge demand and to contact you if a plugin is built. We do not sell or share the list.
This applies to TextSight today and to any third-party checker, plugin or not.
Uploading a file or checking a selection sends that text to TextSight. Check your institution's rules on sharing student work with outside services first.
Scans you run while signed in are saved to your scan history in your account. How far back you can see depends on your plan. Do not treat TextSight as a no-retention tool.
There is no TextSight Moodle plugin, so there is no plugin audit log, no institutional data processing agreement for Moodle and no certification to point to. If a vendor makes those claims for its plugin, ask for the documents.
The Moodle guide, the educator hub, and the sibling LMS pages.
Download the file and upload it, or highlight the text and use the Chrome extension. A free account gives 3 checks a day. If your institution wants a plugin, email us and say so.
