Frequently Asked Questions

Academi.cx is a service that allows for users to upload academic documents to be checked for AI-generated and plagiarized content. The document is checked using Turnitin, giving you the same insights your instructor would see upon submission.
Once you upload your document to academi.cx, it is processed by Turnitin, which only takes a few minutes. Turnitin analyzes the content for similarity to other submitted papers and detects AI-generated content. Once processing is finished, the AI and similarity reports, including percentages and highlights of specific content, are available on the dashboard for viewing.
The similarity score indicates how much of your document matches existing academic content. It's essentially a plagiarism score that highlights areas of your work that are similar to or directly copied from other sources.
The AI content score shows the percentage of your document that has been identified as AI-generated. This score helps determine if parts of your submission were likely created using AI tools. Note that viewing the exact AI percentage is a premium feature available to subscribers or users who have uploaded their document using a credit.
For non-premium members, the processing time is dependent upon the queue length, in most circumstances under 3 minutes. Premium members have the ability to skip the regular queue, leading to faster processing times.
No, documents uploaded to academi.cx are not stored in Turnitin's global repository. This ensures that your work remains private and won't be used for comparison against future submissions.
No, your name and personal details are never shared with Turnitin. All documents are uploaded completely anonymously.
Yes, to check content for AI generation, your document must be in English and contain more than 300 words.
Absolutely. Since your document isn't added to Turnitin's global repository, you can safely submit it again without issues.
Yes, academi.cx offers a free tier. However, free users only receive similarity percentages and reports, and cannot view anything regarding flagged AI content. Premium users, on the other hand, get priority queue times, the ability to upload an unlimited number of documents, and access to AI content percentages and detailed reports. Users can also purchase credits to access the same pro features for individual documents.
