Hey, ive been working on a plagiarism scanner and wanted to stop by and introduce myself :) Its not done so dont look at this as spam but I just wanted to get some feedback on features that writers and students would look for. Im trying to make it similar to turnitin so the accuracy is my main focus. O yea im a highschool student in Houston tx so hello from the states :)

Also I read about the plagiarism detect thing and thought ide post an email i got from "Jeffrey" the other day soliciting for money-

Dear !

First of all I would like to thank you for your support and email praising my plagiarism detection system.

Thank you to the people who supported me, and made it possible to make improvements to the system.

I feel obliged to say, that am still working on some major improvements, on a new plagiarism detection algorithm particularly. Soon enough we will have a new algorithm, which will help define plagiarism with much more accuracy.

The last time I asked for donations my bank account blocked all of them, and all donations were returned to their owners. I dropped the ball there, but fixed it asap. And even though no money was donated - I improved the system as promised.

This time everything is ok, and I hope you can assist me in improving the system by donating only $2. This money will be spent wisely on the system improvement.

DONATE $2.00 to PlagiarismDetect.com <paypal/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=info@plagiarismdetect.com&item_name=DonationForPlagiarismDetect&amount=2.00&tax=0&currency_code= USD&lc=US&bn=PP-DonationsBF&charset=UTF-8>

or more - will be very helpfull

I hope each and every student will use my system for his/her convenience. As long as I have people who need this system it will remain open and FREE.

Yours Truly,
Jeffrey

i dont want to start up a bash thread but its a good laugh lol. For a writing service he tends to avoid linking verbs.

but about my project, is there anything you would want or look for in a plagiarism scanner? I have some ideas but wanted to get some public feedback on what they would want or look for.

First of all, will it be a completely free service?

Yup

Strong privacy statement that the paper will not be used by you in any way now and in the future.

Yea got that covered too, dont want to get too indepth yet but there will be some benefits if you choose to store the paper in the db. Thought about that with turnitin as well so when you submit a paper theres a check box for permission to store it in the database or not.

Well im thinking of doing a credit system. The system is more thorough than a simple google query so ive been having trouble figuring out the best way to keep it free while covering server costs. One of my ideas is if the user chooses to store the paper in the db, they get extra submissions per month. This makes it easier to find pre written papers.

Not sure the best way of ensuring there privacy etc. besides being transparent on my end and putting it in writing in the privacy policy.
