Scans the live web for matching text

0/500

Press Ctrl + Enter to check

We sample a handful of sentences and check them against live web search results — a quick scan, not an exhaustive database search like paid tools use.

The short version

A quick reality check before you hit publish

Whether it's a paraphrase that landed too close to the source, or a paragraph you forgot you copied months ago, duplicate content has a way of sneaking into drafts. This tool takes a sample of your sentences, checks them against what's actually live on the web right now, and shows you exactly which ones came back with a match — and where.

It's built to be a fast sanity check, not a forensic audit. Think of it as the same gut-check a careful editor would run before publishing, compressed into a few seconds.

How the scan works

Three simple steps, no account required.

1

Paste your text

Drop in an essay, article, or any draft you want to double-check before publishing or submitting.

2

We sample sentences

A spread of sentences across your text is selected and searched as exact phrases on the live web.

3

Matches get flagged

Any sentence with a strong web match is highlighted with a link to the source, so you can review it yourself.

Who it's for

A fast check before something goes out the door

🎓

Students

Sanity-check an essay before submission to catch accidental overlap with a source you paraphrased too closely.

✍️

Writers & Bloggers

Confirm a piece is original before it goes live, especially when working with multiple drafts or contributors.

🧑‍💼

Freelancers

Give clients confidence that delivered work is your own, with a quick receipt-style scan.

📋

Editors

Spot-check submissions for obvious lifted passages before a deeper editorial review.

One honest note before you rely on this

This is a live web-match scan on a sample of sentences — not a search against the massive indexed databases that institutional tools like Turnitin use. It will catch obvious, direct overlap with public web content. It won't catch everything a paid academic tool would. Use it as a first pass, not a final verdict.
