A New Tool in Town

Plagiarist get ready to stop stealing information and passing it off as your own work! Searchinform Technologies has created and released their new software program called "Plagiatinform 1.0. This program can detect an entirely copied document, or several lines and passages.

Two Main Areas

There are two main areas that "Plagiatinform 1.0." will be used; higher education and the publishing industries. Colleges require many papers to be written, essays, reports, term papers and more. Some people have a more difficult time keeping up with the demands of the college life, hope and family issues, so some of these people may be enticed to plagiarize. Businesses may find plagiarized work in areas such as analysis, commercial research and marketing.

Compares Text

The program compares words and passages to a database, the same way a person would do, but is much faster. The program works with a large amount of information. The only limit to the amount of information that can be compared is the size of the computer network, memory and storage.

Plagiatinform's Advantage

Plagiatinform 1.0. has a significant advantage over the old fashion way, by hand.

Testing

Currently, the program is being tested at a publishing house. Publishing houses use the software to check their own information, and the published information of its competitors.

The Cost

The cost of Plagiatinform 1.0. has not been set at this point, but soon will be.

Plagiarists beware! Be sure to cite any information that has been copies!
