More content is being plagiarized and AI generated than ever before – ChatGPT, other large language models and internet sources make this possible.
Our tool analyzes texts, automatically extracts their unique characteristics, and finds matching web sources. Such text signatures are difficult to falsify, so even this basic check efficiently exposes the more audacious cheaters. Read on below to learn how to interpret the results.
This interpretation only works if the document had regular saving points (i.e., auto-save was active) while it was written; otherwise, copying the text into a fresh .docx file removes this metadata, making the analysis meaningless.

FAQs about Plagiarism Software
The URL(s) listed are semantically related to the checked text snippet. They might have content around the same topic and this can be coincidental. If the texts closely resemble each other, they might be pharaphrased versions.
The text snippets in italics that follow after the source URL have been matched. That means these words have been found identically on the target web page. "..." is used to show text parts that did not exactly match, which could be the result of paraphrasing.
Traditional plagiarism copies text verbatim or almost verbatim. Para-plagiarism occurs when content, arguments, or structures are taken over but completely reworded — so that no wording matches anymore, even though the intellectual work is still not the author’s own.
S³ identifies semantically similar passages and displays the likely source. Whether a citation is present and correctly formatted is checked in parallel by the reference module. By combining both signals, a properly cited paraphrase can be clearly distinguished from para-plagiarism.
No, and we explicitly do not recommend that. S³ provides a signal and a basis for discussion. Sanctions should always be based on the conversation with the student, the full integrity report, and the institution’s established process.
S³ supports multiple languages. For German, Spanish, and English, we have developed a language-specific model that delivers more reliable results than a generic approach. Additional language upgrades will follow.
S³ and the plagiarism check work exclusively on the final text and do not require any process data. Version analysis is an additional module that provides more context, but it is not a prerequisite for an integrity review.
