Need to know whether an essay, a batch of assignments or a web article borrows text from somewhere else? Plagiarism Checker X looks for passages that overlap with online material or with other documents. It combines web searches with document comparison and presents matching passages for closer review.
How does an online plagiarism scan work?
Import a document or provide text for an online check. Plagiarism Checker X searches web content for matching passages and reports the share of text associated with online sources. Writers can use the results to locate sections that need attribution or further investigation.
The program also includes a webpage similarity scanner for checking published or draft web content. Online searches need an internet connection; some document comparisons are available offline.
Can it compare assignments or two documents?
Side-by-side comparison places two pieces of text in adjacent panes and highlights matching sections, making it easier to inspect similarities in context. This works for comparing drafts, source material, or two documents directly.
Bulk comparison checks multiple files against one another, including within a document collection. Teachers can use it to look for overlap across a group of assignments, while writers can compare files in a repository. Bulk and cross-comparison features also work without an internet connection.
- Use the two-pane view to examine a specific pair of documents.
- Choose bulk comparison to check a set of files for shared passages.
What files and reports does it support?
The program handles Word documents, PDFs, Excel files, rich-text files, and plain text. After a scan, color highlighting distinguishes matched text in the results. Reports can be saved in PDF or DOCX format for sharing or recordkeeping.
