Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this plagiarism checker?

This tool provides a basic check for potential plagiarism by analyzing text patterns and comparing against common phrases. While it can identify obvious similarities, it is not as comprehensive as specialized academic plagiarism detection software. For critical academic submissions, we recommend using your institution's official plagiarism detection tools.

Does this tool check against internet sources?

This free tool primarily analyzes your text for common phrases and patterns that might indicate plagiarism. It does not perform a comprehensive check against all internet sources or academic databases, which would require more advanced technology.

What should I do if the tool finds potential plagiarism?

If the tool identifies potentially plagiarized content, you should review those sections carefully. Consider rewriting in your own words, adding proper citations, or using quotation marks for direct quotes. Remember that proper attribution is key to academic integrity.

Is my text stored or shared when I use this tool?

No, your text is processed locally in your browser and is not stored on our servers or shared with third parties. We respect your privacy and the confidentiality of your work.

What similarity percentage is considered plagiarism?

There's no universal threshold, as it depends on your institution's policies and the nature of the assignment. Generally, similarity scores above 20-25% might warrant review, but context matters. Common phrases, properly cited quotes, and standard terminology can legitimately increase similarity without constituting plagiarism.
