FAQ

Is any data sent to servers for citations or writing check?

Writing Check stays in your browser. Auto citations send only the URL you paste to /api/citations/metadata so the server can read public page meta tags (title, author, date). Manual entry is fully local.

Can I paste a link to auto-fill citations?

Yes. Auto mode fetches public metadata per link (up to 25 URLs per extract, 50 sources per session), appends to an editable source list, and builds Harvard or APA references plus in-text lines you can copy.

What source types are supported for citations?

Book, journal article, website/webpage, book chapter, and thesis/dissertation (Harvard and basic APA 7th).

Does Writing Check prove AI authorship?

No. Cards are sorted by confidence (high first). Headings use the same color as the level (green high, orange medium/low); summaries stay neutral with italic, muted evidence bullets. See the disclaimer.

Can I analyze DOCX files?

Yes. DOCX is imported via HTML extraction then plain-text for signals analysis (same path used by Text Edit exports).

How does Text Signals in Text Edit relate to the Writing Check here?

Shared engine and card layout. Writing Check uses the academic profile; Text Edit Text Signals uses the full profile. Both show grouped sections with plain-language titles and evidence lists.

Are results saved or shared?

No. All analysis stays in the current browser session and is lost on refresh.
