the problem

Most plagiarism tools look at the final document. WriteStamp looks at the journey — the keystrokes, revisions and pauses that show who really wrote it.

WriteStamp is an authorship verification platform that tracks and analyzes the writing process in real time — providing verifiable proof of originality, authorship and intellectual ownership for essays, research papers, books, examinations and professional writing.

how it works
01

Writers compose in the canvas

A clean, distraction-free editor. Every keystroke, pause, deletion, paste and tab-switch is recorded as it happens — invisibly to the writer.

02

An authorship record is sealed

The session becomes a tamper-evident timeline of how the essay was actually written, plus thought-checkpoints that ask the writer to reflect mid-flow.

03

Judges review the evidence

A leaderboard with confidence scores, paste flags and a 10× replay of the composition. Ask in plain English; AI surfaces the suspicious sessions.

// the behavioural record is structure, timing & hashes — not your keystrokes; the essay is saved in full, with pasted passages flagged

for judges & reviewers

Evidence, not guesswork.

Rank submissions by an authorship-confidence score. Replay any session at 10× to watch it composed. Filter the field in plain English — “show entries with no paste flags and deep revision” — and let AI do the triage.
