Text Similarity Checker: Compare Two Texts
Paste two texts to see what percentage overlaps and which phrases are shared.
Quick answer: The Text Similarity Checker compares two pieces of text you paste. It highlights phrases that appear in both and shows what percentage of each text is shared. It does not search the internet, so use it against a source you have.
Text A with shared phrases highlighted
Text B with shared phrases highlighted
This compares only the two texts you paste. It does not search the internet, so it is not a full plagiarism checker. Use it to check a draft against a source, or two versions of your own work.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a plagiarism checker?
It compares two texts you provide. It cannot search the web or databases, so it is a similarity checker and not a full plagiarism service.
What phrase length should I use?
Five words is a good default. Use 4 for strict checks and 10 to find long copied passages.
Is my text stored?
No. It stays in your browser.
