Check-Plagiarism

An Introduction to Check-Plagiarism

Check-Plagiarism is, as the name very aptly describes, a plagiarism-checking tool. But, if you open it up, you’ll see that it provides a number of other tools as well. Mind you; we are not going to be discussing those in this review.

Considering the above, it’s more proper to call Check-Plagiarism an online platform that mainly deals with checking plagiarism, but it provides multiple other utilities as well.

In this review, we will first take a detailed look at the plagiarism-checking tool by discussing its main features and functionalities. After that, we will chalk out how exactly this tool stands out from the others.

Let’s get started.

Check-Plagiarism: Overview and Features

1. Appearance and Interface

The first thing that ought to be mentioned when discussing any tool is the appearance and user interface. So that is what we’re going to be looking at in the case of Check-Plagiarism as well.

The user interface of the overall platform is fairly easy on the eyes and easy to navigate. There are no confusing menus that you have to crawl through to get to the tool you need. Similarly, on the tools themselves, all the options are easily visible. You won’t have to think or struggle too much when using them.

The color combination used by this platform is a nice little blue, red, and white. The combination isn’t hard on the eyes, and it looks fairly aesthetic too.

There is, of course, one downside that sticks out when it comes to the interface, and that is the annoying ads. It’s understandable that revenue generation is, for a lot of such websites, based on ads. But the placement and incessance of the whole thing make them annoying.

You can get rid of the ads by upgrading to a paid plan, but you can’t really do anything about it if you are a free user.

2. Availability

Moving on, let’s take a look at the availability of this tool.

Check-Plagiarism is, as the term goes, a “freemium” tool. In other words, the tool can be used for free to a certain extent but requires the users to upgrade to a paid plan for access to all features.

The plagiarism checker can be used indefinitely for free without any limit on the number of attempts/uses. There are restrictions on the input, with the cap limit being 1,000 for free users.

The good part about the availability of Check-Plagiarism is that you don’t necessarily have to sign up to avail yourself of the basic features. You can enter your content and get the results as a free “guest” user without any trouble.

3. Pre-Processing Features

Since there are a lot of features that this tool provides, we will categorize them into “pre-processing” and “post-processing.”

Let’s start with the former first.

1. Multiple Languages Available

Check-Plagiarism offers a range of different languages that you can choose from to make your user experience easier and smoother. By switching languages, you will be able to change the lingo of the text appearing on the tool page and on the buttons/features of the tool itself.

Here, we switched to Russian, and here is what we got:

There are 13+ languages that you can pick from as per your needs and requirements. And the good thing about the languages is that they are not limited to only registered or paid users. Rather, anyone can change and adjust them as they want.

2. File Uploads

This is also a good feature that you can use. Copying stuff and then pasting it into the input box can be a bit time-taking, especially if the “stuff” happens to be long and lengthy. Thanks to the uploading feature, you can speed things up.

There are a number of formats supported by the tool for the uploading feature.

3. Exclude URL

This handy feature lets you exclude a particular URL from being included in the plagiarism check. For example, if you are checking for plagiarism in a blog post already published on your website, you can exclude the URL of the same so that the results come back accurate. If you don’t exclude that website, the tool will just show the input as 100% plagiarized.

4. Post-Processing Features

That’s about it for the pre-processing features. Now, let’s take a look at the features that you can use after the process has been completed.

1. Percentage-Wise Results

Once the tool completes checking the content, the exact amount of plagiarism and uniqueness is shown as an accurate percentage of the whole text. Thanks to the percentage display, you can easily see whether the amount of plagiarism is tolerable for your particular use or not.

2. Save and Download Reports

There is also an option that you can use for saving and downloading the plagiarism report provided by the tool. With the “Save” feature, you can save a particular report to your account. You can access it later in the “Account” tab.

The other option, i.e., “Download,” will save the same report to your device as a PDF file.

3. Matched Sources

After the plagiarism-checking process is complete, you can click on the “Matched Sources” tab to find out the URLs of the sources that your content matches. You can also find the exact percentage of plagiarism from each source.

4. Cite and Rewrite

This is an excellent feature that you can enjoy with Check-Plagiarism. You can click on any plagiarized sentence in the output and then rewrite it using the menu on the right. Or, you can click on the “Cite it” button to create a citation for the sentence right on the spot.

Pricing Plans

That’s about it for the features of this tool. Now, let’s talk about… 

How Does Check-Plagiarism Outstand Other Plagiarism Checking Tools?

The following are some of the notable features due to which Check-Plagiarism outstands other contemporary plagiarism checkers.

a. Free Availability

Many high-quality tools require their users to sign up and purchase a paid plan. There are some tools – such as Copyscape – that are based entirely on a paid model.

However, Check-Plagiarism is free to start. While there are different limitations on free users, they can check for plagiarism as many times as they want within the 1,000-word limit.

This is something that sets this tool apart from the rest.

b. Multiple Languages Supported

There are few online plagiarism-checking tools that offer multiple language support. It has to be remembered that the actual checking process doesn’t rely on language. The tool checks for text matches all across the internet and gives the results, whichever language the text may be in.

However, having a dedicated language for a plagiarism checker is beneficial since it makes it easier for users in that particular language to easily get around the tool.

c. Wide Range of Available Features

Check-Plagiarism gathers a lot of useful features in one place, whereas a lot of other paid and premium tools don’t provide as much. Some tools don’t have the option to upload files, whereas some tools can come without the option to save and download reports.

But Check-Plagiarism stands out since it gives a whole galore of features, the majority of which are available to free users as well.

Closing Thoughts

Check-Plagiarism is a decent plagiarism checker that provides accurate and reliable results. It comes with a lot of features that make it stand out from the other similar tools available on the internet.

In a nutshell, some of the distinguishing features of this tool are its free availability, a wide range of features, and accurate results.
