A safer pre-submission checklist
Use the detector as a writing quality check. If the essay looks risky, revise the work itself: add source-specific evidence, examples from class, personal reasoning, and clearer paragraph transitions.

Check an Essay for AI Signals Before Submission
Before you submit, publish, or review an essay, ClearText can help identify AI-likeness signals and sections that may need more human detail, evidence, or clearer reasoning.
AI detection is probabilistic and can produce false positives or false negatives. Use the report as a writing review signal, not as the only basis for academic, hiring, or disciplinary decisions.

What to revise after a flag
A high AI-likeness signal often points to generic language, repetitive structure, or weak evidence. Improve the essay in ways that also make it more useful for readers.
- Add concrete examples
- Cite sources more clearly
- Explain your reasoning step by step
- Replace vague claims with specific analysis
Student and teacher safe-use disclaimer
Students should not treat any detector result as a guarantee, and teachers should not treat one result as proof. Use ClearText as part of a broader review process.
