Description

Novus Scan is a tool for teachers, editors and writers, enabling you to find text that has been copied between documents. Create a document database of articles, term papers, homework assignments or research materials. Then, import documents that you'd like to scan and Novus Scan will compare them to all the documents in its database and show you any matching text between the contents of its database and the document that you're scanning.

Notes:

- Novus Scan only checks your document against documents that you add to its internal database.
- The scanning algorithm has only been tested on English language text. Support for other languages is coming soon.

Novus Scan works completely offline, so you can be sure that your documents won't be uploaded to the internet and you won't violate intellectual property agreements. Build a database of documents, whether its your own previously written work, reference materials used in research, or term papers from classes that you're teaching. Novus Scan is a great tool for freelance writers, enabling you to prevent accidental self plagiarism and find text that you've accidentally used for another client's project. If you're a teacher, Novus Scan will help you compare term papers and other student assignments. For students, put your reference and research documents into Novus Scan's database and then scan your document to ensure that you haven't accidentally copied any text from other sources.

Key Features:
- Import documents in popular formats, including Word, PDF and html.
- Find matching phrases at least 8 words long.
- Print or save a report that shows the copied text with references to the source documents.

Pretty good but needs a bit of work

This is a good program for multiple reasons - you provide that database of work to check against and it gives you an easy assessment of what it’s found.

Currently running a bit slow, but it is perfect for PhDs etc where you have written similar material before.

Most importantly it actively checks your work without uploading to any of the scam sites that are available.

Delighted with this purchase and how well it works.

I continue to use this application which has provided undisputable evidence on a number of occasions. It works well once you've taken the time to learn how to use it.

The thing I've found most useful about this application is the ability to demonstrate to students in a classroom environment how easily and precisely plagiarism can be identified. As a deterrent it is priceless. The fix for appending comments is welcome.

I've been using Novus Scan for a few days now and find it both easy and efficient. It's a great tool in the fight against plagiarism but also, in my case, it has pleasingly proved the absence of copying. Spotting plagiarism amongst my own students does not require software, however, when multiple teachers are involved this application saves a great deal of time. I'm delighted with this purchase and how well it works.

Do not Buy this plagiarism checker!

First, it is too expensive for program that can't find anything.

Second, in Internet you will find other checkers wich works much more better than this one, in addition, they are free.
