AI Text Detector

Select any text and see how likely it is that a language model wrote it.

Select a passage on any page, open the popup, and you get a reading plus the sentences that look machine written. Everything runs inside your browser: nothing is uploaded, no account, no history kept.

How it works

  1. Select a passage on a page, or paste it into the popup.
  2. Press Check and the analysis runs locally in your browser.
  3. Read the verdict, the sentence heat map and the four signals behind it.

What you get

  • Perplexity — how predictable every next word is
  • Burstiness — how much sentence length and rhythm vary
  • Repeated connectors, hedges and template openings
  • Vocabulary spread and how much a passage restates itself
  • Word and sentence counts you can copy into a report

Questions

Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The analysis runs entirely in the browser, so confidential drafts stay on your machine.
Is a high score proof of AI writing?
No. The report is a signal, not a verdict — treat it as one input alongside your own reading.
Which texts does it handle best?
Essays, articles and cover letters — passages long enough for rhythm and vocabulary to be measurable.
