Unicheck, well-known in the educational circles for their technological breakthroughs and innovations, has created a Google Docs plagiarism checker add-on that enables users to check their texts directly in their writing environment, without leaving Google Docs. The decision to develop plagiarism checker that is fully integrated in Google Docs was inspired by Unicheck’s recent unique integration with Google Classroom, the only plagiarism detection software that allows educators to automatically check student submissions in Google Classroom.
