What Grammarly Authorship actually tracks
Grammarly's official Authorship documentation describes a system that runs inside the Grammarly browser extension and desktop apps. As you write, it tags each segment of the document by source: typed by you, pasted from elsewhere, generated with Grammarly's own AI, or accepted from a Grammarly suggestion. The output is a colour-coded report a teacher or reviewer can open at any time.
The key point: Authorship doesn't analyse the style of your writing. It records the events that produced it. Paste events are the loud signal. Statistical AI-detection ambiguity does not apply.
Why pasting fails — and why typing wins
When you paste, the browser fires a single paste event carrying the entire string. Authorship intercepts that event and tags the inserted range. There is no version of pasting that hides the event from a JavaScript listener — the spec requires it.
When wraitor types, the browser sees a sequence of individual keydown, keypress, input and keyup events — exactly what a keyboard generates. Authorship has no special-case for "these events happen to spell the same thing as something on the clipboard." It tags them as typed, because they are.
Wraitor vs other approaches
| Approach | Fires paste event | Authorship-clean | Works in Word desktop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual paste (Cmd/Ctrl-V) | |||
| "Force paste" Chrome extension | |||
| Browser autotyper extension | partial | ||
| Wraitor (OS-level) |
Step by step
- Draft your text in any editor, AI tool, or notes app.
- Copy it to your clipboard.
- Open the wraitor desktop app, pick a typing preset (we recommend "natural" for academic prose, "careful" for technical writing).
- Click into the Google Doc or Word document and trigger wraitor with its hotkey.
- Wraitor types your draft in. Authorship sees keystrokes, version history sees a normal typing session, and the paste-event listener stays silent.
Use it responsibly
Wraitor is a typing-delivery tool, not a content generator. The text is yours; only the input mechanism is automated. We do not endorse using wraitor to circumvent assignments where authorship is part of the assessment, or to misrepresent AI-generated text as your own where that representation is forbidden. See terms.
