Playback Typing - For Teachers 👩‍🏫

Ask students to record their writing on i-typed-this.com and download their session zipped folder as evidence they wrote their work.
If you suspect the work may be copied and pasted, or transcribed from AI, load their session zipped folder in the Playback tab.
Use Playback to watch the essay being written. Notice how pauses, typos, and revisions demonstrate it is not just copy-paste or slow transcription
Check the Writing Analysis and graphs. These can help you see if the writing seems authentic.

Try a demo to see how the analysis works:

1. Watch the Playback: See the text being written in real-time. Notice the natural pauses and corrections in the human demo versus the instant pasting in the AI demo.

2. Check the Analysis:

The charts and metrics reveal how the text was written. Look for:

Peak Speed (CPM): Extremely high speeds suggest pasted content.
Rhythm: Natural writing has pauses and revisions. A lack of these is a red flag.
Flow Barcode: This visualises the writing process, easily spotting unnatural patterns.
