Writetrace — Writing Proc

WriteTrace replays the writing history of a Google Doc so teachers, editors, and content reviewers can inspect how a document was created.

Open a Google Doc, click the WriteTrace button, and review the writing timeline from the first revision to the final text. WriteTrace highlights large text insertions, summarizes revision statistics, and helps reviewers distinguish gradual writing from sudden pasted or AI-assisted blocks.

WHAT WRITETRACE DOES

1. Replay Google Docs writing history
Watch the document rebuild over time and move through the timeline with playback controls.

2. Detect large insertions
WriteTrace flags large text insertions above a configurable threshold. The default threshold is 50 characters, and reviewers can tune it in Settings.

3. Review writing statistics
See revision count, active writing time, final length, large insertion count, and other document-level evidence.

4. Use faster replay controls
Choose standard replay speeds up to 64x or enter a custom replay speed for longer documents.

5. Export evidence summaries
Pro users can create a PNG evidence summary with the writing timeline, document statistics, and highlighted insertion evidence.

6. Keep document content local
Document content and revision data are processed in the browser. WriteTrace does not upload document text or revision history to a server.
