Character Replacement, Hidden Characters Alerts & AI Content Alerts
A Cheat Detection Alert will appear in the similarity report when a scan has detected an abnormality in a submitted document. These abnormalities are usually present due to a student's efforts to cheat or "fool" a plagiarism scan. The three forms of cheating that our scans can detect are called Character Replacement, Hidden Characters & AI Content.
