A brief analysis of the differences between the two services and which one is the better choice for your needs.
In the age of AI, the writing process has completely changed. In the classroom, the importance of evaluating authorship of a submission has grown significantly. While many solutions purport to verify ‘authorship,’ Cursive TypeID is the only solution to verify consistent individual authorship over time while documenting the process of how individuals create digital writing pieces.
Through on-device verification through typing biometrics, Cursive provides new insights and metrics for the most popular digital word processing programs:
- An “Effort” score derived from the amount of keystrokes that went in and the number of characters in the final document.
- A time-lapse revision history identifying pasted content, sources, and time spent in each writing session.
- A typing biometric identifier tied to the enrolled writer, not their computer.
- A downloadable artifact documenting how the user arrived at their final product, a sharable proof of authorship.
This is unique in comparison to other options on the market such as Grammarly Authorship, GPTzero, and ProcessFeedback. Grammarly’s “Authorship,” GPTzero, and ProcessFeedback provide AI detection and paste detection by reviewing revision history in Google Docs. Cursive, on the other hand, ups the ante for authenticity through typing biometric verification of the author, helping readers and writers move beyond “it is human” to “it is my authorship.”
For teachers, the submitted artifact streamlines the verification process for student authorship letting students submit through existing assignment inboxes in Canvas or any other LMS. With a QR code that links directly to an immutable verification report, teachers can be 100% sure about unaltered authorship results.
For students, this comes without sacrificing user privacy with local on-device processing. Grammarly alternatively utilizes cloud data harvesting, collecting user data upon account creation and collecting everything you type throughout the writing process and none of the three alternatives provide true authorship verification. The bottom line is that Cursive is the undeniable choice in the classroom when institutions want to ensure that students are producing their own work.
