Mentafy is very much NOT a keylogger. Yes, we track how the document is being created. But as data, we don't take single key strokes, but rather generate metadata from different saving points. Further, we do not store or communicate all the details of this data, but only the aggrevated data that's relevant for the integrity report. A proper working student should have an interest in being checked for cheating and show off, that they didn't. For that, you need to give a system that amount of insight into their writing. A post-hoc analysis solutions are around, but studies show, that none of them are sufficiently reliable and further do NOT yield evidence for their AI detection.
Yes. Mentafy is free to use till 31.07.2025, if you register by 31.12.2024.
After that, we have an offer for schools and universities starting at $599,- per year.
For individuals, i.e. single teachers or students, our offering will start at $7,99 per month.
As software-as-a-service (SaaS), you do not need a modern computer, but basically any device, that can go online is enough to work with Mentafy.
What you do need is a cloud space, where you store your documents for Mentafy to be able to document our work. E.g. at Microsoft you can register for a free account, that is totally sufficient to work with Mentafy.
By documenting student's work process, what they research as well as the writing, our analysis can show, how diligently the student worked and what part is a personal contribution versus copied text. This is reviewable in a concise report, that includes:
- Writing Journal
- Writing Pattern Analysis
- General Writing Statistics
If Mentafy wasn't on board from the start of the writing process, there is a second best way to prove authenticity. From the detailed version history alone that comes along with a file, that was written in a cloud space like GoogleDrive or OneDrive, we can also applyy our writing pattern analysis and check for cheating. It is not as detailed and powerful as the full Mentafy experience to e.g. clearly detect AI misuse, but it does provide decisive insights in particular cases.
There a couple of good tips on how to find the right topic for your paper. This is important, because students will obviously perform a far better, if they write about something they are interested in and motivated by.
We have a little helper, Mentafy's Topic Finder, for you, that asks the right questions and provides you with inspirations, regarding your perfect topic.
