What are matched text levels
Our AI-powered plagiarism scans offer 3 layers of text similarity detection (identical, minor changes, & paraphrased) in order to give you the most accurate results.
Based on your scan settings we also provide information on how much of the text you are not scanning for plagiarism (omitted words).
See below for an explanation and examples of each these elements.
Identical- 1 to 1 exact word matches, highlighted in red
Minor changes- text that has some minor variations from the source but conveys the same meaning. Example: changing "he was running" to "he ran". Highlighted in light red.
Paraphrased- text that is rewritten using different words or sentence structures, but the core idea remains the same.
Omitted- the portion of text that is not being scanned for plagiarism based on the scan settings. (example: the ignore quotations setting is enabled and the document is 20% quotations = the omitted words percentage is 20%), unhighlighted. For more information on omitted words, see here.
