I like dupecop for checking originality when I am asked to do rewrites or when I need to write multiple articles on a very specific subject--you can use it to check between two pieces of work. I'm not sure if they check the internet for dupicate content (haven't had to use it in a while) but it is worth looking into.

Both of them are online rewrite checking software.

I would recommend Ithenticate (http://www.ithenticate.com/static/home.html). Not that I have used it but many of my clients are happy with it.

You can copy and paste into copyscape if you become a pemium member. Also you could put your article up on your host as a text file and use the URL check in copyscape to check the content. Just Remember to put the name of the text file on the end of the URL.

I was given this free tool (http://www.dustball.com/cs/plagiarism.checker/) a couple of years ago by an article buyer. It is an educational project developed by the students of Maryland University.

Hi Alevoor,
Thanks but no thanks for your contribution. I find this tool very much slow (even to a 8 Mbps connection), it can not find all the sources and does not give us authentic results.
I have checked one of my blog articles through this online software. It discovered 15 possible plagiarism, but all the sources are directed to the same blog title.
Now tell me what to do?

Strange! I don't know what has gone wrong with it. But it was alright. May be I should have checked it before posting here. Sorry about that, infofreek

Well, I dont think that there is any site which can be compared to copyscape. i think it is the best and worth getting pro account.

How much we have to pay to become premium member?

'Copyscape' charges US$ 0.50 per search. Initially it may not sound costly. But the hidden fact is that you have to buy the search options as a bouquet of 50, 100, 200 or 500. That means you have to pay a lot starting from US$ 25. :D
Still, there is nothing that matches 'copyscape pro'.

Actually it is only .05 cents a search. You must buy at least 100 searches ( $5 ) which is no big deal and well worth it
And with this service you can enter a url to check or you can just paste in text to have checked.

If you are on wordpress there is a nifty little plugin which is probably called anti theft or wp thumbprint. (Just google stolen content wordpress plugin lol) which is quite awesome. It actually imprints an invisible thumbprint in each page/post which automatically detects the contents and notifies you immediately when and after it is being published, regardless whether they embed the feed or copy the post, they are caught!

I used to use both articlechecker.com and blogoscope quotefinder (http://blogoscoped.com/quotefinder/) as an alternative for copyscape. Hope my answer wasn't too late :D

I use articlechecker, it is similar to Copyscape, but can sometimes be a little slow...

I can suggest the following desktop free software http://textbroker.ru/main/dcfinder.html, it russian soft, but I used it for english texts. It doesn't required installation, you can paste your text in program and it will find all copies. If anybody will use it, please let us know your opinions about it in comparison with copyscape.
