Frequently asked questions

ScreenPass is a free tool for writers wrongly flagged as AI. Paste your writing and it gives you a sentence-by-sentence red-pen X-ray, an honest AI-risk score, and — after you leave your email — a proof-of-authorship defense report you can bring to a professor or reviewer.

No. ScreenPass does not rewrite, paraphrase, or alter your text in any way. It only analyzes the writing you already wrote and explains why it reads the way it does, so you can defend your authorship. It's a defense tool — not a rewriting tool, and not a way to pass off AI-generated work as your own.

Detectors look at signals like rhythm, predictability, generic phrasing, and a lack of specific detail. Clear, formal, well-structured writing trips those same signals — which is why genuine essays, and non-native English in particular, get falsely flagged so often. A high score reflects your style, not proof that you cheated.

Not consistently. Independent research has reported false-positive rates as high as 61% on essays written by non-native English speakers. That's the core problem ScreenPass exists to help with: giving you a concrete, plain-English way to push back on a verdict that's often wrong.

No. The writing you paste is analyzed and then discarded — we don't keep it. To generate your result it's sent to our analysis providers solely to produce your score and report; ScreenPass does not retain it.

Yes. The check, the red-pen X-ray, and your risk score are free with no account and no card. Unlocking the full defense report asks for your email so we can send it to you.

A proof-of-authorship report that takes each flagged sentence and turns it into a written rebuttal in plain language — explaining why the sentence is consistent with human writing. It's designed to be something you can hand to a professor, reviewer, or appeal board.

Pro is a planned paid tier ($12/mo) adding a submit-ready Proof-of-Authorship PDF, an Appeal Kit to formally contest an accusation, unlimited checks and full-length documents, and saved defense history — with more to come. Pro isn't live yet; you can join the waitlist after your free check, and there's no charge today.

We collect your email only when you choose to unlock a report or join the Pro waitlist, and we use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how the site is used. See our Privacy page for the full picture.

It's built to help. The report gives you a structured, plain-English defense of your writing. It is informational, not legal advice, and ScreenPass can't guarantee any specific outcome — but it gives you something concrete to bring to the conversation instead of just your word against an algorithm.
