When copying is blocked

Blocked copying is fine

Many sites block text selection on reviews. Here is what to do instead — start from the top.

  1. 1

    Bookmarklet most reliable

    No copying needed at all. Save it once to your bookmarks bar, then click it on any page with reviews to measure them in place.

    Check reviews ← Drag this button to your bookmarks bar
  2. 2

    On desktop, install the extension

    The extension skips copying entirely. Open a product page and scores appear next to each review.

  3. 3

    On mobile, copy the whole page

    If long-press selection does not work, use your browser's Share or Copy page text. Menus, prices and dates will come along — the checker filters those out for you.

  4. 4

    Last resort: type them in

    Two or three suspicious ones are enough. Enter similar-looking reviews together and we cross-check them for copy-paste.

Copy protection is the site's own policy. This service does not circumvent it — it simply reads the text already displayed on your screen.

Measured accuracy

We publish
our misses

Our first version caught zero fakes. We publish that failure with every other number.

This tool is for people who distrust reviews. Hiding our accuracy would defeat its purpose.

Against text written specifically to dodge our criteria we still catch only about a third — in both Korean and English. Rules alone cannot break through that ceiling, so we are collecting your "correct / wrong" feedback to train the judgment instead.

Why trust this

Built so you can verify it

01

Your text never leaves

Measurement finishes in your browser. Only a handful of numbers are ever sent, and the original text cannot be reconstructed from them.

02

Reasons, not verdicts

We do not just say "suspicious". We show how many praise phrases, whether there is any real-use detail, and what percentage overlaps another review.

03

Never a final verdict

These are reference indicators. We do not declare anything fake — the final call is yours.

FAQ

Questions you may have

How do you identify fake reviews?

Blocklists of "fake phrases" break the moment someone swaps a word. So we do the opposite: we look for traces only a real user leaves — part names, sensory detail, genuine complaints, situational context — plus structural overlap with other reviews.

Is review text sent to a server?

No. Measurement finishes inside your browser. Only a few numbers used for scoring are ever transmitted, and the original text cannot be recovered from them.

Does it work on mobile?

Mobile Chrome does not support extensions. Paste reviews into the web checker above instead — it runs the exact same engine.

What about sites that block copying?

Save the bookmarklet and it measures the page directly, no copying required. You can also use your browser's "copy page text" — menus, prices and dates get filtered out automatically.

How much can I trust the result?

We catch most ordinary fakes, but only about a third of text written deliberately to evade our criteria. That number is published above. Results are reference indicators, not verdicts — which is why we always show the reasoning.
