How PaperMind Works

1. Students Write Directly in the Editor

Each assignment begins in the PaperMind rich-text editor. Students write and revise their work within a clean, distraction-free space that autosaves as they go.

No installations, no plugins. Just a secure writing environment that works on any device.

2. We Capture the Writing Process — Ethically

As students write, PaperMind unobtrusively records how the text is produced: keystrokes, revisions, pauses, and more. We don’t just see what they wrote—we understand how they wrote it.

This process data powers our advanced AI-plagiarism detection, giving you insight into the story behind the submission.

3. Suspicious Submissions Are Flagged

Every paper is analyzed applying algorithms to behavioral patterns and writing style. If a submission shows signs of being heavily AI-assisted or pasted in all at once, we flag it for review.

You'll see a Suspiciousness Score and a visual timeline to help you make an informed decision—no black-box judgments.

4. You Review, Comment, and Grade

Open the student’s submission, replay key parts of their writing process, and leave sticky-note style comments wherever needed. Assign a grade, write final comments, and notify the student in just a few clicks.

Students receive a clear summary and can revise based on your feedback if allowed.
