For educators

A reading, not a ruling.

Nota tells you how machine-like a submission reads — with the error rate printed beside the score. What happens next stays a conversation between you and your student, not a verdict from a tool.

The number arrives with its error rate

Every result carries the false-positive rate measured for the exact model that scored it — how often it flags honest human writing. You know how much to trust the number before you knock on anyone’s door.

It refuses to guess

Under 250 words Nota abstains and says why. Short answers, discussion posts and one-paragraph replies get honesty instead of a confident-looking guess.

Fair to careful writers, by design

Formal, careful prose — including from non-native writers — can read machine-like. We have not published a false-positive rate for non-native writing yet, so we do not sell one, and we say that out loud. A score is a reason to look closer, never an accusation.

What you get to work with.

Batch a class set

Drop up to 100 files at once (paid plans). Per-document results: words, probability, band, error rate.

The Nota Record

Download an Ed25519-signed record of any result — the score, the model version, the caveats — that cannot be quietly edited. Useful when a case goes to a committee.

Evidence to read together

Twelve writing measurements against a human envelope, each with its failure mode. Made for looking at with the student, not for pointing at them.

Discarded by default

Student text is processed in memory and discarded. History keeps each scan’s signed record — the hash and the numbers; the text only where you chose to keep it in the record. Nothing is used for training.

On every result, whatever the plan: probability, band, threshold, measured false-positive rate, model version, word count, caveat. Never “written by AI”.

Founding cohort

Nota Educators

We are inviting 25 educators this season to shape how an honest detector should behave in a classroom. Not a webinar funnel — a working relationship.

You give

Pilot Nota in one course for a term
A short feedback call once a month
An honest quote or case study — only if the tool earns it

Fair questions

The longer answers live on the method page.

Can I discipline a student based on a Nota score?No — and we will not tell you that you can. A score is a probability with a measured error rate. Pair it with drafts, version history and a conversation. Nota prints the caveat on every result for exactly this reason.

What about non-native writers?Careful, formal prose can read machine-like, and non-native writers often write carefully. We have not measured a false-positive rate for non-native writing, so we do not claim one. Treat high scores on such writing with extra care — the result page says the same.

Do you integrate with Canvas or other LMS?Not yet, deliberately — we would rather do batch uploads and Nota Records well first. A class set as files covers most workflows today.

What does it cost for a classroom?Spot checks are free (2,000 words a day). The Individual plan covers most single teachers. Departments that batch whole class sets want Professional. Founding-cohort educators get Professional free for a year.
