A comprehensive plagiarism report is immediately generated indicating potential areas of plagiarism along with the source. When your plagiarism report is ready for viewing, click “Open Report”. Plagiarized content is highlighted in different colors. Click on individual sentences to verify the source of plagiarism.
What are the two scanning options?
1- Exact sentence match: This option scans on a sentence level and is very accurate, as long as the source sentence has not been modified. 2- Dynamic match: This option scans on a deeper and more aggressive level by analyzing phrases within sentences. While this option occasionally returns some false positives, it is much more effective in detecting paraphrased or modified text.

Should I paste my text onto the online form or upload my document as a file?
For short text (up to 600 words) such as articles and short essays, simply copy your text and paste it to the online scan form. Your report will be generated in less than 5 minutes. This scan is limited to search engines only. For a more accurate scan, we recommend uploading your document. For longer documents, it is recommended to scan your documents by uploading the actual file (compatible extensions are: .doc, .docx, .rtf, .txt, .pdf). You will receive an email notification when your report is available for viewing.
How accurate is the plagiarism report?
Each scanned document receives an originality percentage based on the amount of duplicate content that has been flagged as potential plagiarism. The higher the percentage, the more likely that the content has been plagiarized. It is, however, up to the reviewer to carefully read the report and determine the originality of the document by verifying the sources. Note: Our scanner runs comprehensive checks on multiple web sources in addition to our private database. If your content is not detected in any of these sources, it will not be flagged as potential plagiarism by our system.
Do I need to download any software or plugins to my computer?
No. Your documents are analyzed and processed fully online. No software download is needed.
