Text Similarity and Plagiarism Detector

Compare two texts and calculate the similarity index. Identify duplicate passages and evaluate the degree of resemblance between documents.

Simplified Plagiarism Detector

What is Plagiarism Detection?

Plagiarism detection is the process of identifying similarities between two or more texts to check for unauthorized copies. The tool uses text comparison algorithms to calculate a similarity index.

How does it work?

We use two main methods:

🔤 Jaccard Index

Compares sets of unique words. Measures how many words are common between the texts.

📊 Bigram Analysis

Compares sequences of two consecutive words. Detects copied phrases and structures.

Use Cases

Interpreting the Results

0-20%: Very different texts, no concern
20-40%: Some similarity, could be coincidence or common theme
40-60%: Significant similarity, investigate further
60-80%: High similarity, probable partial plagiarism
80-100%: Nearly identical texts, evident plagiarism

Limitations

⚠️ This tool only compares two texts directly. For complete plagiarism detection on the internet, you would need specialized services like Turnitin, Copyscape or Grammarly that search millions of online sources.

💡 Tip: Use this tool to compare document versions, check text rewrites or compare student assignments against each other.
