An AI Detector for Teachers Who Need Answers, Not Just a Score

Paste a student essay or assignment and see exactly which sentences read as AI-generated — built for classrooms, not just compliance.

Analysis uses perplexity, burstiness, and semantic pattern detection.

Generic plagiarism checkers were built for a world before ChatGPT — they compare text against a database of existing sources, which does nothing when a student's essay was never published anywhere. An AI content detector for teachers works differently: it analyzes how the text was likely produced, looking at word predictability, sentence rhythm, and structural patterns that large language models like GPT-5 and Claude leave behind, even in original, never-before-seen writing.

ContentScan gives educators a free way to run that check on individual essays or a full stack of submissions, without an LMS integration or a paid seat. You get a sentence-level breakdown instead of a single percentage, so you can see which specific parts of an essay triggered the flag and make an informed judgment call — because no detector, including this one, should be the final word on academic integrity.

Built for how teachers actually grade

Sentence-level evidence

See exactly which sentences read as AI-generated instead of trusting one opaque score for the whole essay.

No AI humanizer blind spot

Our classifier is trained to catch AI text that has been run through "humanizer" tools to dodge simpler detectors.

Free, no LMS required

Paste text directly — no Canvas, Moodle, or Google Classroom integration needed to get started.

Fair to ESL and formal writers

Style-metric-aware scoring reduces the false-flag risk that trips up non-native English speakers and highly formal writing.

Frequently asked questions

Can this replace Turnitin or a plagiarism checker?+
No — they solve different problems. A plagiarism checker finds copied text from existing sources; an AI content detector like ContentScan looks for the structural signature of AI-generated text, including entirely original AI writing that would never trigger a plagiarism match.
Is it free for classroom use?+
Should a flagged result be treated as proof of cheating?+
