Microsoft recently announced a new tool called Similarity checker.
The new tool will work with the Microsoft Word editing tool and is supposed to help determine if the text in a document is original or requires a reference to the source of the text.
Currently the new tool is only available for Microsoft 365 EDU customers in A3 and A5 editions previewof the Office suite. Similarity checker is expected to be released to everyone in July 2020.
Μόλις κυκλοφορήσει η νέα δυνατότητα μπορεί να σας βοηθήσει να προσδιορίσετε πόσο μέρος ενός εγγράφου είναι παρόμοιο με διαδικτυακές πηγές, ενώ κατά κάποιο τρόπο θα συμβάλλει στην αποτροπή λογοκλοπής. Η νέα εφαρμογή θα διαθέτει και πολλές άλλες λειτουργίες, όπως τα κατάλληλα tools which will tell you where to insert references to the original text.
This feature is supported by Bing, so it searches the web to find other sources that are similar to your document.
Microsoft's upgraded editing feature is an effort against Grammarly and other apps, which recently seem to be getting a lot of traffic due to the increased adoption of Microsoft Office.
Microsoft, of course, wants to keep users on its platforms, so the new processor is supposed to provide everyone with the tools they need to improve their writing without having to turn to third-party products.
