How EssayGuard Works
Three steps. No installs. Students write, you review — with evidence you can trust.
Create an Assignment
Log in, name your assignment, set an optional due date, and you're done. EssayGuard generates a unique class code and a shareable link you can post to your LMS, email, or syllabus.
No IT setup. No integrations. Works with any LMS.
Students Write
Students open the link in any browser and start writing. The built-in editor tracks their writing process — every keystroke, pause, revision, and paste — silently in the background.
Nothing to install. Nothing to configure. Students just write.
Review Authenticity
When students submit, EssayGuard analyzes the full writing session and delivers proprietary details about the authenticity of the writing process. You see exactly how the essay was built — not just the final product.
Evidence-backed verdicts. Print-ready reports for integrity proceedings.
What We Analyze
EssayGuard doesn't just scan the final text. It watches how the essay was written.
Typing Behavior
Keystroke patterns, writing speed, and natural pauses that indicate real composition.
Paste Detection
Every paste event is logged — what was pasted, when, and how much of the final essay it represents.
Timing Patterns
Time between edits, session duration, and writing rhythm compared to expected human patterns.
Revision History
Full playback of how the document evolved — from first word to final draft.
Built for Institutions
Designed to meet the compliance, privacy, and usability standards schools expect.
FERPA Compliant
We act as a School Official under FERPA. Student data stays under your institution's control. We provide a signed DPA on request.
Printable Reports
Generate detailed evidence reports for academic integrity hearings — formatted, timestamped, and ready to print.
Zero Student Friction
No accounts, no installs, no extensions. Students click a link and write in the browser. Works on any device.
