ScribeLens

Check your writing before you submit it

Paste your draft and see, sentence by sentence, which parts read as AI-like and why — before you hand it in. Each flagged sentence comes with a reason, so you know where to look and can improve it in your own words.

Check my writing

What you see when you check a draft

ScribeLens gives you an overall verdict, then marks every sentence as human-like, mixed, or AI-like and highlights it in your text. Flagged sentences carry reason keywords that name the pattern, such as even sentence rhythm, a generic transition, or formulaic structure.

A flag describes how a sentence reads. It does not say who wrote it. Detector v4.0 was retrained on real student essays and on essays by non-native English writers, and in our own testing it is markedly better at recognising that kind of writing as human.

Your reference list and citations are set aside automatically, so you can paste or upload the whole essay as it is.

How to read the result and improve a flagged sentence

Start with the verdict, then open the sentence view. Look at where the flags sit: a few flagged sentences in one paragraph tell a different story from flags across the whole essay.

For each flagged sentence, read its reason keyword and ask whether the sentence says something specific. The aim is clearer writing with your own detail, not a different number.

Add your own AI disclosure, and get writing tips (optional)

If you used AI tools for brainstorming, grammar or anything else, you can add an AI disclosure to your report: say which tools you used and what for, or that you used none. It appears at the end of the report as your own statement, clearly marked as not verified by ScribeLens, and it goes into the PDF, the DOCX and any verification link you create.

You can also switch on writing tips: short suggestions under flagged passages, such as starting with your own point instead of a warm-up sentence. They are only for you. They are never printed, exported or shared, and they don't change your result.

Keep your drafts as a record of your work

Save your outline, notes, and earlier versions as you write. Together they show your essay taking shape over time, and they are the best record of how you wrote it.

If a teacher asks about your writing, bring that record together with your ScribeLens report. The report shows which sentences were flagged and why, so you can talk about specific passages. With a free account you can export it as PDF or DOCX.

You can also keep a history of your scans on your own computer: turn on My recent scans and open any earlier report again later, without scanning again. It stays in your browser only and is never sent to ScribeLens. Skip it on a shared or school computer.

A free account gives you 35,000 words a month and 9 PDF/DOCX report exports, and it scans a whole essay in one go. Without an account you can check up to 2,000 words per scan.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free to check my essay?

Yes. Without an account you can check up to 2,000 words per scan. A free account gives you 35,000 words a month and 9 PDF/DOCX report exports, and it scans a whole essay in one go.

Will my essay be stored or shared?

Your analysis is kept in your own browser session so a refresh does not lose it, and it is cleared when the tab closes. A copy is only stored on our side if you explicitly create a verification link, and those expire automatically after 180 days. If you turn on My recent scans, your recent scans are also kept in your own browser, on that computer only, until you delete them or turn history off; they are never sent to us.

My writing got flagged but I wrote it myself. Why?

Formal, polished, or template-based writing can share patterns with AI text, such as even sentence rhythm and predictable phrasing. A flag describes how a sentence reads, not who wrote it. Open the flagged sentences, read the reason for each one, and keep your drafts as a record of how you wrote the essay.

What should I do with a flagged sentence?

Read its reason keyword, then make the sentence clearer and more specific: add your own example, your own reasoning, or the detail from your sources. The goal is better writing in your own voice. ScribeLens is not a humanizer and does not rewrite text for you.
