Addressing the Changed Needs of Educators As A Result of the Pandemic: Plagiarism Prevention Redefined
The increased use of digital learning during the pandemic saw a marked increase in ghostwriting and other forms of plagiarism. This in turn, led to an urgent need for solutions that could help detect such instances of plagiarism. To address this demand, the new Ouriginal solution now includes these add-on features - 'Cross-Language Text Matching' (CLTM) and 'Ouriginal Metrics'. CLTM detects text passages that have been translated from one language to another, whereas Metrics analyses and compares writing styles to give teachers more intelligence to judge if a document was really written by the person claiming its authorship.
New Teaching and Learning Environments Need New and Focused EdTech Solutions

"With our three-decade long track record and expertise in developing solutions to support educators worldwide, we witnessed an increase in ghostwritten submissions as well as plagiarized content across languages.
