Problem
Traditional AI detection tools rely on probability scores and statistical patterns that are often inaccurate, leading to false accusations of academic dishonesty and failing to definitively verify student authorship. Schools lack a reliable, deterministic way to confirm which parts of a written assignment were produced by a specific student, especially as AI writing tools become more prevalent.
Solution
Typed by Hand provides a writing verification platform for K-12 districts and higher education institutions that confirms student authorship at a granular level. Instead of using AI detectors or probability-based scoring, the platform analyzes writing characteristics to determine who wrote what, paragraph by paragraph. This approach gives educators a transparent and defensible method for verifying the authenticity of student work, enabling them to focus on teaching writing skills rather than questioning the origin of assignments.
Target Audience
Primary customers are K-12 school districts and higher education institutions that need to verify the authenticity of student writing assignments.
