Improved Side-by-Side View

We have revised and improved the side-by-side comparison of texts: From now on, the side-by-side view will highlight exact matches using a bold font. This will give you an even better idea of ​​how the text was revised. Hence, the your assessment whether the tested text is actually plagiarized or not is greatly simplified.

Plagiarism Search Based on the Text Signature

We are improving data protection at PlagAware: From now on you can specify whether the entire full text should be saved in your library - or only the signature of the text. The signature represents a highly compressed and encrypted form of the text content. You can use this to identify plagiarism of texts without having to save the text to PlagAware.

Preserve Text Format During Plagiarism Scan

To make it easier for you to navigate the results report, we have revised our algorithms for normalizing the test text. Thus, section and page breaks will be preserved as far as possible. In the view settings you can decide whether the text (as before) should be displayed as a continuous section or in the original format.

Text comparison and plagiarism search in own texts

The reliable comparison of two or more texts is a fundamental task in the plagiarism assessment of documents. But there are areas of application that require a text comparison also outside of such an investigation. With PlagAware you can therefore compare several texts with each other without plagiarism analysis.
