Check the Percentage of Copied Content in a text in Plagtracker.com

Protected by Copyscape Web Copyright Checker
Few days back I wrote about Plagiarisma.Net service and its free Desktop Application. Recently I got to know about a new online service PlagTracker that does the same basic job i.e. checks text for copied content.

It basically uses a 3 step process for tracking Plagiarism.
The service has a pretty professional look.
After visiting the homepage you need to click on the following button to go to the page where you will be prompted to paste the text which you want to check for Plagiarism.
It will take time if you paste longer text.

It says it will search in Academic Database but I assume it uses search engine results Google, Google Scholar etc for searching Plagiarism.
It opens result in a new page where it lists rates the text in percentage plag rate.

It marks that portion of the text in reddish color that has Plagiarism in it.
and also lists the sites that contains the original text.
If different portions of the text are copied from different sources, mouse hovering on a search result will highlight that portion of the text that is copied from that site.
At present the service supports only Latin characters and can check maximum 5000 characters at once.

This service is pretty new, yet quite complete. It will be better if this service will allow uploading of documents for checking plagiarism. For that it needs to support popular document formats like .txt, .rtf, .doc, .docx, .pdf, .djvu, .djv etc. I wish all the best to this new service.

Cheers !!
