Detect, rewrite, and prove authenticity to clients — all in one tool. Stop losing invoices to AI false positives.
Freelance writing has a third party in every transaction now. The AI detector. It runs before the client reads the work, and it doesn't care that you've been writing professionally for ten years — it just cares whether your sentence patterns match the patterns AI generates.
The cruel irony: experienced writers score worse than first-year writers on most detectors. Years of polishing your craft taught you the same clean, confident, neutral register that ChatGPT learned from the same source — corporate blogs, B2B SaaS content, news writing. Your hard-won "professional voice" is exactly what the detectors flag. First-year writers score better because their writing is messier, less consistent, more human-sounding.
Upwork added a Verified Original badge in October 2025. Fiverr Pro requires AI-assist disclosure. Agencies started auditing every deliverable after Google's Helpful Content Update tanked rankings on AI-heavy sites. The result is a writing economy where the detector is the gatekeeper, not the editor.
TextSight is the only tool that ships both a detector and an AI rewriter in one product. You run the same scan your client will run. You see the same flagged sentences. You fix them in one click — Light mode preserves your voice, Maximum mode is for when you need to strengthen writing quality and readability. Then you screenshot the score and attach it to the deliverable email.

A typical 1,500-word article that scores 78% AI on Originality.ai gets rejected. The writer either rewrites for free or eats a $300 invoice. Some writers lose $500-2,000/month to this.
Most rewriters paraphrase everything in the same generic style. Clients notice. They hire writers for voice, not text.
Your draft scores 22% on TextSight, 78% on Originality, 45% on GPTZero. Without a side-by-side, the client picks the worst score and disputes the invoice.
You bill by the article, not by the rewrite. Every minute you spend fixing AI flags is unbilled time eating your hourly rate.
Run your draft, screenshot the score, attach it to the deliverable email. If the client gets a different number, the burden shifts to them to explain why.
Light mode keeps your sentence patterns almost identical and only adjusts the AI-flagged structures. Balanced and Maximum modes are available when needed but rarely required.
Pro tier supports .docx and .pdf uploads, URL scanning, and unlimited scans. Process 10 articles before delivery in one session, not 10 separate copy-pastes.
Every scan is saved. When a client claims your work scored AI, you have a date-stamped TextSight scan saying otherwise. Most disputes resolve in your favor.

Business at $29.99/mo adds API access (10K calls/mo) for high-volume writers
Yes. There are no platform restrictions on TextSight use. Many freelance writers use it as a standard pre-delivery step. The client can run their own scan; ours just gives you advance warning.
Light mode preserves voice — it only adjusts the sentence-level patterns AI detectors flag (sentence-length variance, bridge-word density, generic openers). Balanced touches more. Maximum is aggressive and best avoided unless your initial score is below 30%.
Pro supports URL scan + file upload (.docx, .pdf). For programmatic bulk via REST API, upgrade to Business ($29.99/mo, 10,000 API calls/month).
Every scan generates a downloadable PDF report with timestamp, score, and sentence-level analysis. Attach to deliverable emails or use in dispute responses.
Most standalone AI rewriters rewrite without telling you what was wrong. You're guessing whether the new version maintains quality standards. Writers typically run the output through a separate detector to verify, which is two tools and two subscriptions. TextSight does both in one pass.
Yes. The AI rewriter targets only the sentences flagged by detection. Research-heavy content with citations stays intact; only the AI-pattern sentences are rewritten.
Six habits that turn a detection scare into a five-minute pre-delivery routine. Each one solves a real problem freelance writers run into every week.
Every draft passes a TextSight scan before it hits the client inbox. If the score is above 80, you ship. If it sits between 60 and 80, you fix the five or six flagged lines and rescan. The whole step takes under seven minutes on a 1,500 word piece and saves you the dreaded "this reads AI" email forty eight hours later.
Light mode only edits the specific sentences the detector flagged, so your rhythm, cadence, and signature transitions stay intact. Clients hired you for your voice, not a paraphraser's average voice. The AI rewriter respects that and rewrites at the line level instead of bulldozing the whole article.
When a client claims your work scored AI on their detector, you reply with a timestamped TextSight scan, a sentence level breakdown, and a downloadable PDF report. Most disputes resolve in your favour the same day because the burden of proof shifts back to the client to explain the gap between two detectors.
Platforms like Upwork, Contra, and Fiverr Pro now flag AI assisted work or require disclosure. Run your draft through TextSight, attach the PDF report to the milestone submission, and add a one line note: "TextSight pre-check, 87% human, full report attached." Clients close the milestone faster because they trust the evidence.
Writers who file four to twelve articles a week run a Friday batch session: paste each draft, scan, fix the flagged lines, export the PDF, and queue it for delivery. Pro tier supports unlimited scans plus .docx and .pdf upload, so an entire week of deliverables clears in roughly an hour rather than two scattered afternoons.
If you publish into a client's WordPress site or run your own newsletter on WP, the TextSight plugin scans posts inside the editor before publish. No copy paste, no separate tab, just a button next to "Publish" that returns the Authenticity Score and the flagged sentences inline. The plugin is live in the WordPress directory and free with any paid plan.
Four tiers tuned to writing income, not generic seat counts. The decision usually comes down to weekly article volume and whether you need shared seats for a co-writer or editor.

Annual billing saves 25%, dropping Pro to $14.99/mo and Business to $29.99/mo. Full pricing →
Reply on the dispute thread with three artifacts: your TextSight scan (timestamped, score above 80, sentence level breakdown), the downloadable PDF report attached, and a one paragraph note saying you ran the same draft through a multi model detector and these are the results. Upwork mediators look for evidence over assertions. A dated, screenshot ready PDF defeats a one number screenshot from a single detector almost every time. If the client used Originality.ai and got a different number, point out that no two detectors agree on the same draft and yours runs against GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, and Mistral instead of just one model family.
Detector disagreement is the norm, not an anomaly. The same paragraph routinely scores 22% on TextSight, 78% on Originality, and 45% on GPTZero. The reason is each detector calibrates on a different training distribution. Originality was built mostly on GPT 3 era content and overfires on confident, polished prose, which is exactly what experienced writers produce. Respond by sharing your full TextSight PDF, asking the client to compare sentence by sentence with their detector output, and offering to revise the two or three lines that both tools flag. That collaborative reframing usually closes the gap without a rewrite of the entire piece.
The FTC's 2024 endorsement guides require disclosure when an endorser uses AI to fabricate testimonials or generate fake reviews. They do not require freelance writers to disclose AI assistance during drafting if the published claims are true and the writing reflects the writer's expertise. That said, your contract may have a stricter clause: many agencies now ask for "no generative AI in first draft" warranties. Read every contract, and if it requires zero AI use, treat TextSight as your verification layer rather than a workaround. This is general guidance, not legal advice, so check with a lawyer for binding cases.
Agency writing has always been a transparency negotiation between writer and client. The classic ethics question (who gets the byline) is unchanged by AI. The new question is whether the client agreed to AI assisted drafting in the scope of work. If your engagement says "writer will produce original work using research and interviews," running ChatGPT for first drafts violates that scope, regardless of whether you rewrite the output. If the scope explicitly allows AI tools, your job is to make sure the final voice matches the named author. TextSight helps with that last step by showing which sentences still read machine generated.
Cite sources the same way you would on your own byline. Direct quotes need attribution, paraphrased facts need a source link, and statistics need the original study cited inline. AI assistance does not change citation rules at all, since the obligation belongs to the publication, not the drafting tool. The one gotcha is that LLM output sometimes invents plausible looking citations. Run every fact and link through a real source check before delivery. The TextSight Fact Checker tool catches hallucinated citations and is bundled into the free tool suite.
TextSight subscriptions are billed up front and aren't refundable, but you can cancel anytime to stop future renewals and there's a free tier so you can evaluate before paying. On the flagging itself: pull your stored scan history and the PDF report from the day you delivered. If the report shows above 80 human at delivery time and the client's detector now shows differently, that is a detector disagreement issue, not a TextSight failure. We document every scan with a server side timestamp specifically so you have evidence to share with the client.
Substack added optional AI labels in 2025; Medium followed with a stricter disclosure policy in early 2026. Both platforms ask publishers to label posts that use AI for the majority of the draft. The cleanest path: write the first draft yourself, use AI only for research summarization or outline checks, and run a TextSight scan to confirm your final score reads predominantly human. If your score is above 80 you can safely skip the AI label. If your score is between 50 and 80, label it as "AI assisted" to stay on the right side of platform terms.
Long projects drift. By month three, your sentence patterns shift because of feedback loops, deadline pressure, or new style influences. The key is to keep a voice anchor: pull three to five paragraphs from your first month of writing, store them in a doc labelled "voice baseline," and rescan each new draft alongside that baseline using TextSight. When the new piece deviates significantly in score or flagged structure, you have an early warning that your voice is shifting. Use Light mode for fixes since it preserves your own patterns rather than averaging toward a generic register, and run a Text Compare every two weeks against the anchor to spot the drift before the client does.
