What is CopyWrite?
CopyWrite is an open source plagiarism detection software released under the GNU GPLv3 license. It allows users to check documents for duplicated or repurposed content by comparing them against a large database of online sources.
Some key features of CopyWrite include:
- Compares documents against billions of online webpages and academic papers to identify potential plagiarism
- Highlights passages in the text that match external sources and provides links back to the original content
- Generates easy-to-understand similarity reports summarizing matches found
- Complements manual source checking by finding passages that may have been missed
- Customizable similarity score threshold settings
- Batch upload capability to check multiple documents
- Available completely free without usage limits
CopyWrite can be a useful tool for teachers, writers, academic researchers and students looking to ensure their work is original before turning it in for evaluation. The software helps to complement manual source checking by catching duplicate or repurposed content that may otherwise slip through unnoticed.
As an open source project, CopyWrite benefits from ongoing contributions from developers around the world. This allows the software's capabilities and database of source material to continually expand over time through community effort.
