Preventing Plagiarism, Improving Writing


Uniqueness Scoring

Detect (and compare) matches between student text and outside sources

Packback’s advanced Uniqueness Algorithm can detect matches to outside sources even in the case of significant edits. Packback allows you to see a side-by-side “Match Comparison” showing additions, deletions, and replacements.

AI-Generated Content Detection

Identify how students may be using GenAI in their work

At Packback, we know that not all GenAI use is a bad thing, but transparency and proper attribution and citation is key! Packback provides transparency into how a document may have used generative AI in its development, with an overall “risk” level as well as “risk” insights by sentence.

Proactive Feedback for Students

Allow students to see matches and correct missing citations before submission

Packback’s mission is to empower students with insights during the writing process to help them succeed before they submit. Students are able to see a preview of the “Originality Fingerprint” report for their document and are prompted to correct instances of possible plagiarism or uncited generative AI use before they submit.

Streamlined Workflow

A single workflow for teacher grading and student feedback

Unlike other leading academic integrity solutions, all of Packback’s features are delivered in one streamlined workflow. Educators assign, grade, and review originality all in the same workflow, and students get proactive writing feedback as a part of the submission process.

Secure & Flexible

Privacy and Security-First: Packback is SOCII Certified and aligns to FERPA, COPPA, PIPEDA, and GDPR standards.

You control your institution’s data: Institutions can request data be removed from our data set, or that their own data be included in our document repository.
