What arrives with each statement.

The problem

AI-written statements are now common.

AI detectors are unreliable, and they flag non-native writers most.

No AI detector. Evidence instead.

Ownhand shows how each statement was written and whether the applicant can explain it. It never labels a student as cheating. Judgement stays with you.

What you get

  • Embed on your pages

    Ownhand runs inside the statement questions on your own application form.

  • A process record

    Typed, imported and pasted shares, check-ins over time, and a tamper-evident fingerprint.

  • An understanding check

    Applicants rehearse explaining their own claims before they submit. You see who has done it.

  • Applicant analytics

    Typed shares, pasted text and check-ins across every applicant, filtered by programme.

  • Your paste policy

    Label pasted text, or block paste on your forms. Applicants can request an accessibility exception.

  • Works with your rules

    Allow only the language fixes your guidance permits. Ownhand never writes for the applicant.

How a pilot works

  1. Step 1: Choose one form

    For example, the statement of purpose for one postgraduate intake.

  2. Step 2: We set it up with you

    We embed Ownhand and match it to your AI guidance and paste policy.

  3. Step 3: Review the evidence together

    After the intake, we go through the records and the dashboard with your team.
