How it works
- 1Paste the text to check.
- 2Compare it with a specific source (text or link), or run the web search when available.
- 3Review the highlighted shared passages, the similarity rate and the sources.
Good to know
- The comparison detects verbatim reuse (at least 8 identical words in a row); deep rephrasing is not detected.
- The web search queries a search engine with the most distinctive sentences: its coverage is limited to indexed, accessible pages. An empty result doesn't prove originality.
- The similarity rate is a comparison indicator, not proof of plagiarism: a properly attributed quote is legitimate.
