What About Turnitin's "Writing Process" Feature?
Turnitin now tracks keystroke data and revision history in its newer products. Our humanizer has no effect on this (it only modifies text, not your writing environment). For institutions using keystroke tracking, we recommend writing your draft manually, then humanizing AI-assisted sections.
What AI Percentage Passes Turnitin?
Turnitin's documentation states:
- 0-5%: No flag raised
- 6-20%: Soft flag — instructor is notified but no automatic action
- 20%+: Hard flag — text is highlighted for review
Our testing shows Humanize AI Pro consistently produces 0-2% scores, well within the safe zone.
