Learnaway is a free AI writing detector for teachers. It checks if homework was written by AI by analysing the writing process (keystroke dynamics, paste events, dwell time, tab-switches and focus loss), not the text itself. Concrete process signals: no false positives for non-native writers, and nothing typed is ever stored.
No account needed to start. You'll get a shareable link in seconds.
Tools like Turnitin and GPTZero infer authorship from writing style alone. They can't see who wrote what, so they flag honest students and wave real AI essays straight through. The people who study them, and the universities that bought them, are walking away. Here's the evidence:
Vanderbilt switched it off.
After reviewing Turnitin's AI detector, Vanderbilt disabled it for every instructor. Even the claimed 1% error rate would have wrongly flagged around 750 of the 75,000 papers it ran in 2022.
Before you accuse a student, you have to be sure. Learnaway doesn't guess from the prose. It shows you how the work was written: the paste, the timing, the rhythm, so you have real evidence, not a number to argue over.
Type a sentence, then paste one from elsewhere, and watch what Learnaway notices. Nothing is sent anywhere. The analysis happens entirely in your browser.
Your behavioural signals will appear here. Nothing you type is stored. Learnaway only measures how text is entered (timing, pasting), never the words themselves.
Type the name of your assignment and get a clean link to share through your VLE, email, or chat. No student accounts needed.
Students write in a distraction-free editor. In the background, Learnaway records how the work is entered: timing metadata only, never the words.
Each submission gets a plain-English risk label and explanation tags, each backed by a data point you can verify. You decide what to do.
Learnaway judges the writing processinstead of the prose: a single large paste, a robotic typing rhythm, a 600-word essay submitted in three minutes. These signals are concrete, explainable, and far harder to dispute, and they don't penalise the way a student happens to write.
