A newer category of AI tool leaves none of them. Assistants such as Cluely and Parakeet AI sit on the candidate&#8217;s own screen, or listen through the candidate&#8217;s own microphone, and they are built specifically to stay out of the exam recording. Any institution running high-stakes remote exams should understand how they work, because an honest explanation is more useful than a vendor promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_screen_recording_cannot_see_them\"><\/span><strong>Why screen recording cannot see them<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Windows and macOS both allow an application to mark one of its windows as excluded from screen capture. The window appears normally on the physical monitor in front of the candidate, but the operating system deliberately leaves it out of every recording, screenshot and screen share. On Windows this takes a single system call. macOS offers the same facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The consequence is uncomfortable but worth stating plainly: the recording is not being tricked. Those pixels were never in it. This applies to every proctoring product that relies on screen recording. When a vendor claims that their <em>recording<\/em> catches these tools, they are describing something the operating system does not permit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_voice_assistants_slip_past_visual_monitoring\"><\/span><strong>Why voice assistants slip past visual monitoring<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second class of tool avoids the screen altogether. Parakeet-style assistants listen to the question, generate an answer, and speak it aloud for the candidate to repeat in their own voice. There is no typing, no tab switch and nothing unusual to see on camera. The candidate simply appears to think, then answer. The microphone is the only place this leaves a trace, which is why recording exam audio, and actually analysing it rather than merely storing it, matters more than most institutions realise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_actually_detects_this_category\"><\/span><strong>What actually detects this category<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detection has to move off the screen and onto the device itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Endpoint inspection.<\/strong> A companion application reads the operating system&#8217;s own list of running programs and open windows. An overlay can hide from a recording, but it cannot hide from the operating system that draws it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Capture-exclusion checks.<\/strong> A window the operating system reports as open, yet which never appears in the recording, is hiding by definition. This one check catches the whole category, including tools that have not been released yet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Microphone analysis.<\/strong> Sustained speech during a written exam is always worth reviewing, particularly when it clusters shortly after each question loads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Display checks.<\/strong> A connected second monitor should prevent the exam from starting, and pause it if one is attached partway through.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Behavioural signals.<\/strong> Typing rhythm and response timing can flag answers that were transcribed rather than composed. Treat these as prompts for human review, never as proof on their own.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assessment design.<\/strong> Randomised question banks, tight per-question timers and higher-order questions reduce the value of any answer feed. They are also the only measures that work against a phone held below the camera.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Five_questions_to_ask_any_proctoring_vendor\"><\/span><strong>Five questions to ask any proctoring vendor<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Does your detection read the device&#8217;s operating system, or only the screen recording?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can you demonstrate a detection of a window that has been excluded from capture?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you record microphone audio, and do you analyse it, or only store it?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What happens if a candidate connects a second monitor after the exam has started?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which findings do you treat as proof, and which do you send for human review?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Institutions get more protection from a vendor who explains the limits of their technology than from one who claims there are none. No proctoring product on the market today blocks every form of AI assistance, and a phone held out of camera view still defeats all of them. What a serious setup does is raise the effort and the risk far enough that most candidates never attempt it, and leave enough evidence behind to act fairly when someone does. Our approach to layering these controls is described in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eklavvya.com\/remote-proctoring\/\">remote proctoring overview<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eklavvya.com\/blog\/ai-proctoring-guide\/\">AI proctoring guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comparison_of_Anti-Cheating_Methods_by_Effectiveness_Cost_Ease\"><\/span><strong>Comparison of Anti-Cheating Methods by Effectiveness, Cost &amp; Ease<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all anti-cheating methods are equal.

Layer the steps below from baseline to high-stakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Lock_Down_the_Test_Environment\"><\/span>Step 1: Lock Down the Test Environment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start every remote exam with a secure browser so candidates cannot open tabs, switch apps, copy-paste, or screenshot. This single control prevents 85-90% of basic cheating before any monitoring begins, and it works the same whether a student sits in a hostel room or at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Verify_Who_Is_Actually_Taking_the_Exam\"><\/span>Step 2: Verify Who Is Actually Taking the Exam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Impersonation is the hardest fraud to catch remotely. Require a photo-ID and live selfie match at login, then run continuous facial recognition checks every 5-10 minutes. Keystroke dynamics add a second signal that the same person is present throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Monitor_the_Room_Not_Just_the_Screen\"><\/span>Step 3: Monitor the Room, Not Just the Screen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A single laptop webcam leaves blind spots. Add a 360\u00b0 pre-exam room scan and, for high-stakes tests, a second phone camera at a side angle. AI object detection then flags phones, notes, books, and second people the moment they enter the frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Design_Questions_AI_and_Sharing_Cannot_Beat\"><\/span>Step 4: Design Questions AI and Sharing Cannot Beat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technology stops the obvious; assessment design closes the rest. Pull each paper from a 200-300 question pool, shuffle options, set tight per-question timers, and use generative AI assessments so every candidate gets a unique adaptive path. Open-ended, application-based questions are far harder to answer with ChatGPT or a shared answer key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Block_AI_Tools_and_Review_After_the_Fact\"><\/span>Step 5: Block AI Tools and Review After the Fact<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Block ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, translators, and VPNs at the browser level, and monitor the clipboard. After submission, run answer-similarity and performance-anomaly analysis to catch what live monitoring missed, then use short verification interviews for any flagged candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"success-box\" style= \"background: #f0fdf4; border-left: 4px solid #16a34a; border-radius: 6px; padding: 18px 22px; margin: 24px 0\">\n    <p><strong>The remote-exam baseline that works:<\/strong> secure browser + identity verification + AI proctoring (record &amp; review) + randomized question pool.
