Writeprint is a method in forensic linguistics of determining authorship identity behind online text. Due to internet anonymity, writeprint has been likened to a digital fingerprint and has aided identifying suspects in cybercrime investigations. Authorship identity is established through a comparison of stylometric characteristics of an unknown written text with known samples of the suspected author (writer invariants). Even without a suspect, writeprint provides potential background characteristics of the author, such as nationality and education.

There are five broad aspects to author identification in writeprint:
 * Lexical features - the analysis of the lexicon, the author's choice of vocabulary;
 * Syntactic features - the analysis of the author's writing style and sentence structure, such as punctuation, use of passive voice, and sentence complexity;
 * Structural features - the analysis of the author's organization of the work, including paragraph length, spacing, and indentation;
 * Content-specific features - the analysis of the language that is contextually significant to subject of the written work, including the use of slang or acronyms;
 * Idiosyncratic features - the analysis of errors and other ungrammatical elements that may be unique to the author.

While the five features above are the traditional methods of author identification, there are features unique to online text. Features such as choice in font, the use of emojis, and links to other websites all provide a path to identification which is absent in traditional text analysis.
