Originality snapshot
A percentage score plus flagged passages help you see where language might be too close to common sources.
Actionable suggestions
Each flag includes context so you can rewrite, quote, or cite instead of guessing what went wrong.
Pairs with paraphrasing
Jump to the Paraphrasing Tool when you need fresh wording after a passage is highlighted.
