Originality: who wrote what

In the editor's top bar, next to the language pair: a shield with a check, labelled Originality on a wide screen. On a phone it is a circle in the bottom row of the editor. The panel opens with a bar at the top and the activity feed under it; the report button sits at the bottom.

Every line is one thing that happened to the translation, newest first, and each is marked as yours or the AI's: your initials in orange for a person, a grey spark with the model's name for a model. A run on many paragraphs folds into one line ("Translated 50 paragraphs"). The feed lists translation runs, rewrites, proofread suggestions and fixes, Literess's edits, your typed edits with the number of words changed, versions you wrote or switched to, fixes you accepted or declined, workflow reviews you finished, source edits, every export, your review confirmations and report downloads. Use the People and AI filters to see one side alone.

The record is kept on Transept's servers, so it is the same on every device and for every collaborator. It starts on 20 October 2026; work from before that date is not listed, though the shares still count every paragraph.

By word. A paragraph a model wrote and nobody changed counts as the AI's. When you edit a model's text, the words you changed count as yours; the app keeps the model's version at your first edit so it can tell the two apart. A paragraph you wrote yourself counts whole. Accepting a model's text without typing counts as AI text that a person accepted. A paragraph edited before 20 October 2026 counts as yours, since how much you changed is not known. Text that came in with the uploaded file as an existing translation counts as imported.

A third figure, Reviewed by a person, counts the paragraphs you wrote, edited, accepted as is, switched the version of, or approved from Literess. It shows how much of the translation a person stood behind, whoever wrote the words.

A PDF with the document's name and languages, the AI and person shares with their word counts, the reviewed figure, a table of paragraphs by category, the models used, the activity, and a note on how it is counted. Before it downloads, Literess asks one question: did you read through the translation yourself after the AI translated it? Answer Yes, I reviewed it and the report states that you confirmed, on that date, that you reviewed the whole translation and that it is 100% reviewed by a person. Answer No, not yet and the report leaves that line out. The file is named after the document, with "(originality)" at the end.

AI translates well, but only you know what your text has to say. Every export, in every format and on the review page too, first shows a short reminder to read the translation through. I've reviewed it goes ahead with the export; I'll review it first closes the reminder and nothing leaves. Each confirmation is listed in the feed, so the record shows when a person signed off before a file went out. See Exports & integrations.
