Stays on this device

Scanning photographs one page and uses OCR on this device to turn visible writing into editable text. Nothing is uploaded. OCR can misread words, punctuation, columns, handwriting, page numbers, footnotes, tables, and damaged pages. You must compare and correct the result. The photograph is not analyzed, and a successful scan does not prove authorship or origin.

Patterns are clues, not proof of AI use. CouldItBe does not provide a verified authorship verdict or AI percentage. How to read a result →

01

Deterministic measurements

Surface patterns, compression, structure, and frequency—not black-box scores.

02

Evidence in both directions

Every finding keeps supporting observations beside contradictions and counterexamples.

03

Uncertainty stays visible

Provenance checks, missing evidence, and limitations are never hidden behind a verdict.

About research maturity

All five analyzers are operational. Maturity labels describe research depth—not whether a tool works. Research maturity requires independent-source, counterexample, frozen-candidate, untouched prospective, and independent-review checks.

01Operational betaResearched research maturity — Researched evidence analyzer

Text Evidence Analyzer

Paste, open, or locally scan writing. The bounded long-form pattern rule has source-grouped research and counterexample testing; it still cannot determine authorship.

Analyze text
02Operational betaEarly forensic research maturity — Development evidence collected; independent-source and prospective evaluation remain incomplete

Image Evidence Analyzer

Measure compression, repetition, texture, color, frequency, edges, metadata, and Content Credentials locally. Development and transformation testing is underway; this is not an origin detector.

Inspect an image
03Operational betaTransient research maturity — Operationally tested, transient page evidence—not an origin study

URL Evidence Analyzer

Review one public page’s visible-text patterns, declared metadata, and structure through bounded retrieval. Retrieval security is extensively tested; the discarded page body is never treated as authorship proof.

Inspect a URL
04Operational betaEarly forensic research maturity — Development evidence collected; independent production categories and prospective evaluation remain incomplete

Audio Evidence Analyzer

Inspect WAV, MP3, and M4A level, dynamics, silence, clipping, frequency, and container measurements locally. Research still needs broader independent human, generated, mixed, and transformed audio.

Inspect audio
05Operational betaEarly forensic research maturity — Validation infrastructure is mature; independent-source evidence and prospective evaluation remain incomplete

Video Evidence Analyzer

Inspect MP4 and WebM frame texture, luminance, clipping, repetition, transitions, and container evidence locally. Secure validation is operationally mature, but origin-relevant research remains early.

Research, volunteer studies, and how contributions are used

Useful testing.
Minimal collection.

Run material you are authorized to use. Review the result. Optionally contribute only derived measurements and an unverified source label. Analyzer source text or media is never included.

Adults 18+ · voluntary

Audio research study

Contribute an authorized human, AI-generated, or mixed-production recording for private research review.

Participate in the audio study
Adults 18+ · voluntary

Video research study

Adults can check an authorized MP4 or WebM locally while private volunteer intake remains closed. Videos will never be published or publicly playable.

Review the Video study

Study records are voluntary and privately reviewed. Each study page explains its current submission status. Research review states are evidence, not authorship or origin verdicts.

01

Verified research evidence

Source-grouped records that satisfy a frozen study contract.

02

Controlled synthetic evidence

Known fixtures used to test mechanics, privacy, and failure handling.

03

Self-declared beta feedback

An optional expectation that remains unverified and is never treated as ground truth.

04

Operational bug reports

Content-free reports that improve reliability, access, and clarity.
