<div><br></div><div>I have to agree with Mark, with that amount of checking .. they are probably synthesising a new idea or have figured out that it is easier to just contribute something original. It is tough, I had a go with Wikipedia and it seems to nail down even portions of paragraphs.</div>

<div>It appears to pass text to Google - not sure if or how it scopes its searches to focus on reports, essays etc.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I guess a smart student would also use this tool, and modify their plagiarised work until it didn't register as plagiarised.</div>
