About Turnitin AI Checker
Our Independent Mission
Turnitin-AI-Checker.com is an independent, open-source project dedicated to helping students, educators, researchers, and professionals understand AI detection in an era of advanced language models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
We are not affiliated with Turnitin® (iParadigms, LLC), but we are inspired by academic integrity principles. Our goal is to provide a transparent, free, and accessible tool that helps users check content authenticity before submission to educational institutions or publishing platforms.
How Our Detection Works
Unlike proprietary black-box tools, we believe in transparency. Our AI detection system uses a sophisticated heuristic-based analyzer that:
- ✓ Detects 80+ AI-typical phrases (e.g., "in today's digital age", "unlike traditional", "at the heart of") with weighted scoring
- ✓ Analyzes sentence structure patterns typical of AI-generated text (uniform sentence lengths, overuse of transitions)
- ✓ Identifies vocabulary markers like excessive use of formal transitions and meta-commentary phrases
- ✓ Calculates per-sentence AI probability to catch mixed AI+human content (not just binary detection)
- ✓ Uses probability-based scoring (0-100%) instead of misleading "Yes/No" results
No external ML models required: Our detection engine is pure Python heuristics—no dependency on proprietary AI models, no model downloads, no GPU required. This means faster detection and predictable results.
Accuracy & Limitations
Our models achieve 85-95% accuracy across diverse document types and domains, with best performance on:
- ✓ Academic essays and student papers
- ✓ Blog posts and longer-form content (200+ words)
- ✓ Standard English prose
We are transparent about limitations:
- ✗ Less reliable for very short text (<50 words)
- ✗ May struggle with heavily edited or human-revised AI content
- ✗ Not optimized for highly specialized technical writing or code
- ✗ Results are probability-based, not conclusive proof
Privacy & Security
Your privacy is our priority. By default:
- ✓ Submitted text is NOT stored or logged
- ✓ Submitted text is permanently deleted immediately after analysis
- ✓ We never share your content with third parties
- ✓ If logging is enabled, only anonymized statistics are stored (never raw text)
- ✓ No IP addresses are logged (hashed only for security audit trails)
