Today, programs and resources for checking texts for uniqueness are used not only by copywriters, but also by students of universities, colleges and graduate schools. But, if the document is checked for plagiarism for the first time, then it is usually difficult to find special programs and download them.
Necessary
- - access to the Internet;
- - 5-10 minutes.
Instructions
Step 1
To begin with, you will need to enter the query "check the uniqueness of the text online" in the search engine. The first 2-3 results will show you the most popular plagiarism checker sites.
Step 2
Select one of the resources and find the "Uniqueness check" section on it. In such sections, there is usually a special window into which you need to copy the checked text.
Step 3
After copying the text, click on the "Check Text" button. The check is usually carried out within two minutes maximum.
Step 4
The end of the text check for uniqueness will be the result in the form of a percentage of the unique text and the copied one. The higher the percentage, the less plagiarism is present in the text.
Step 5
You can also download special programs to your computer to check the uniqueness of text documents. The best among them are the Advego Plagiatus and Etxt Antiplagiat programs. You can download the latest versions of the program on the official websites of these programs.
Step 6
After downloading the special software, you will need to install it on your computer and run it by clicking on the program icon. Then you will need to paste the text into the window and start checking.
Step 7
In some programs, parts of the text found on some sites are underlined with a certain color. Also, at the end of the anti-plagiarism check, you can see which sentences are formulated differently (rewritten), and which are copied from other resources (copy-paste).
Step 8
If, as a result of the check, you find that the percentage of uniqueness is too low, you will have to rework your text - change the structure of sentences, rewrite some sentences in your own words, or even delete some fragments in the text document.
