How to Use EduDetector AI Detector: Step-by-Step Tutorial

Introduction to AI Detection

AI detection helps identify whether text was likely written by a human or generated by AI tools like ChatGPT. This tutorial will show you exactly how to use EduDetector's AI Detector effectively.

Before You Start

Requirements

• A EduDetector account (free or paid)
• Text to analyze (minimum 50 characters recommended)
• Understanding that detection is probabilistic, not absolute

Best Practices for Accurate Results

• Use complete paragraphs or documents
• Longer texts provide more reliable results
• Avoid heavily edited or mixed content for clearest results

Step 1: Access the AI Detector

1. Log in to your EduDetector account at edudetector.com
2. From the dashboard, click on "AI Detector" in the main navigation
3. You will see the text input area and detection options

Step 2: Input Your Text

Option A: Paste Text Directly

1. Copy the text you want to analyze
2. Click in the text input area
3. Paste your text (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V)
4. Verify the text appears correctly

Option B: Upload a Document

1. Click the "Upload" button
2. Select your file (supports .txt, .doc, .docx, .pdf)
3. Wait for the file to process
4. Review the extracted text

Step 3: Run the Analysis

1. Review your input text for completeness
2. Click the "Detect" or "Analyze" button
3. Wait for the analysis to complete (usually seconds)
4. The results will appear below the input area

Step 4: Interpret the Results

Overall Score

The main score indicates the probability of AI generation:

• 0-20%: Likely human-written
• 20-50%: Possibly mixed or uncertain
• 50-80%: Likely contains AI-generated content
• 80-100%: Highly likely AI-generated

Sentence-Level Analysis

Individual sentences are highlighted based on their AI probability:

• Green: Likely human-written
• Yellow: Uncertain or mixed signals
• Red: Likely AI-generated

Additional Metrics

• Perplexity: Measures text unpredictability (lower = more AI-like)
• Burstiness: Variation in sentence complexity (lower = more AI-like)

Step 5: Take Action Based on Results

For Educators

• Use results as one factor in assessment, not the only one
• Have conversations with students about flagged work
• Consider the context and student's typical writing
• Document findings for academic integrity processes

For Content Managers

• Flag high-probability content for review
• Request revisions or human verification
• Establish clear policies for AI content
• Use results to inform editorial decisions

For Writers

• Check your own work before submission
• Identify sections that may need more personal voice
• Ensure your writing reflects your authentic style

Advanced Features

Batch Analysis

For Pro and Team users:

1. Navigate to Batch Upload
2. Select multiple files
3. Run analysis on all documents
4. Export results in spreadsheet format

API Integration

Developers can integrate detection into workflows:

1. Access API documentation
2. Generate API keys in settings
3. Implement detection in your applications

Troubleshooting Common Issues

"Text Too Short" Error

Solution: Provide at least 50 characters, preferably complete paragraphs.

Inconsistent Results

Solution: AI detection is probabilistic. Minor variations are normal. Focus on overall patterns.

Unexpected High Scores on Human Writing

Solution: Some human writing styles can trigger false positives. Consider the context and use multiple evaluation methods.

Conclusion

You now know how to effectively use the EduDetector AI Detector. Remember that AI detection is a tool to inform decisions, not make them automatically. Always apply human judgment alongside detection results.
