The Most Effective
WriteCheck compares every paper to a massive database of content from over 80,000 major newspapers, magazines, scholarly journals and books as well as a database of over 12 billion current and archived pages of web content, and 100 million previously-submitted student papers (as of end of October 2009).
All Standard Formats Accepted
Use any word processor. Papers can be submitted as MS Word, WordPerfect, PostScript, PDF, HTML and RTF files, or cut-and-pasted into the submission window as plain text.
Did you cite your sources?
WriteCheck presents users with easy to interpret results showing which sections of a paper appear to be unoriginal and that the writer should verify as properly cited, summarized or paraphrased.
Trust the leader
WriteCheck (powered by Turnitin) was developed by the creators of Turnitin, the world's #1 most popular, most effective and most trusted solution for originality checking and plagiarism prevention. WriteCheck (powered by Turnitin) was developed at the urging of high school and college writing teachers and instructors from every discipline. They saw a large, unmet need for students to learn to check their own work for proper citations. We see WriteCheck as the essential "third check" for any paper - first: spelling check; second: grammar check; and, third: originality check.
Testimonials
"I thought I wrote a good paper until my first submission; wow, was I surprised! After my resubmission I felt very good about turning in my paper to my Prof. I wish I had found WriteCheck before now. It was well worth the $5 for the service. I will be back!"
-Anonymous student
"I am concerned about catching any plagiarism or missed citations in my papers. As a former reporter for the Charlotte Sun in Florida, I appreciate giving the source its credit, and feel too that it is unethical to pass other people's ideas off as your own. WriteCheck allows me the opportunity to make sure I do not and correct any citations needed."
