Desktop Plagiarism Checker Checks the Uniqueness of your Write Up

We, the humans learn to speak by imitating the expressions of our parents. We learn to think and decide by seeing our parents and teachers or idols. Imitation is thus a human nature. But since 18th Century, Close Imitation or Plagiarism is considered as a dishonesty in some genre, "prominently in the sectors of academia and journalism, where plagiarism is now considered academic dishonesty and a breach of journalistic ethics, subject to sanctions like expulsion and other severe career damage." Conversely if your article is copied in another place or website or journal, there is a huge chance that the demand of the original article will decrease resulting in severe economical damage of the original contributor.

Often Plagiarism happens unintentionally. I have found that some expressions in my blog are the guilty of Plagiarism while I haven't copied anything from others. This is mainly because I have similar way of expressing things as many others. But I can get the same penalty as others who did things intentionally. So, checking an article for Plagiarism before publishing is a must if you don't want to get any kind of copyright infringement notice from any company or organization.

My Verdict

Desktop Plagiarism Checker is a very useful software for checking Plagiarism but still the Online Version is better in many respects.

It lets you search plagiarism in a webpage.
You can upload a document (TXT, HTML, RTF, DOC, DOCX, ODT, PDF) and check for plagiarism in it.
Scholar search in online version is better because it divides Scholar search in Articles and patents and Legal opinions and journals.
You can open online version in any browser of your choice while the Desktop version is based on Internet Explorer. In Desktop version, there is no way to open results in a new Window or Tab but in Online version you have all such liberty.

Although Plagiarisma.Net is quite reliable resource to check for plagiarism, it is not 100% accurate. There is always a chance that some results are not cached by Google, Bing or Yahoo. Many books may not also be available or preview-able in Google Books. So, I want this service to list more search engines result and use more books directory for searching plagiarism. Bing and Yahoo search engines have merged and so there is no use of listing them separately.

They need to bring Desktop versions for Linux and Macintosh too.

Pricing

Desktop Plagiarism Checker is free for checking plagiarism 5 times a day. For unlimited searching you need to upgrade to premium account.
