Unicheck

Unicheck is a cloud-based plagiarism detection software that helps educational institutions and businesses ensure content originality. The platform utilizes advanced algorithms to compare submitted text against a vast database of over 91 billion web pages, open access repositories, and library files. Unicheck's core functionality involves scanning documents to identify potential instances of plagiarism, textual similarities, and improper citations. The system generates detailed similarity reports that highlight matched sources and provide color-coded results to indicate the severity of potential plagiarism issues.

Unicheck's technology goes beyond simple word matching by employing contextual analysis to detect paraphrasing and altered phrasing. In September 2019, the company unveiled Emma, an AI agent designed to verify authorship of academic texts and combat contract cheating. Unicheck offers integration capabilities with popular Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Moodle, Canvas, and Google Classroom, allowing seamless incorporation into existing educational workflows. The platform boasts a 99.9% system uptime and provides authorized, encrypted accounts to ensure high-level security for users.

Unicheck serves over 1.5 million students and 100,000 educators from more than 1,100 academic institutions across 69 countries. The company has established partnerships with Turnitin, a leader in academic integrity solutions, to enhance its plagiarism detection capabilities. In April 2022, Unicheck announced a temporary initiative to provide free plagiarism checking services to Ukrainian universities until the end of that year, demonstrating its commitment to supporting academic communities during challenging times.
