the reader’s eye
What a sceptical reader sees before reading a word
Paste a text. Lektor marks the habits that make a reader think a machine wrote it, and says what to do about each one. Your text never leaves this page.
Paste a text and the findings appear here.
Why these habits matter
A reader decides in a few seconds how much attention a text deserves. A bold label at the start of every paragraph, or a heading with Every Word Capitalised, says “chatbot” before the first sentence is read. From there the reader skims, even where the thinking is your own.
What it does
Lektor reads your text with fixed rules. They were written down from what human readers say gives machine text away. Each finding names its line, and a click selects that line in your text. It understands Markdown and LaTeX, and it works on English and Hungarian.
What it does not do
It does not detect AI, and it does not hide it. A text can pass every rule here and still say nothing. Lektor only shows where the wrapping stands between the reader and what you wrote. If a machine helped and your course or journal asks you to say so, say so.
Your text stays with you
The check runs in your browser. What you paste is never sent or stored, and no AI reads it. There are no cookies and no accounts. The page counts visits and checks, so that we can see whether anyone uses it. For each one it notes the time and the site that linked here. It keeps no IP address.
