Overview
The Check Text for Plagiarism action allows you to analyze text for plagiarism using the Copyscape API. This action can be used in conjunction with other actions like Generate Text to scan generated content for potential plagiarism issues. The action takes a single input parameter called "Text to Analyze" which requires at least 15 words to perform the analysis. The action will return the number of words analyzed, whether any plagiarism matches were found, and if so, the plagiarized text snippets along with their source URLs. This enables you to quickly validate the originality of textual outputs within your Workflows.
Inputs
Text to analyze - The text that you want to check for plagiarism.
This is some sample text that I want to analyze for plagiarism. It contains at least 15 words so it can be properly checked.
Outputs
The Check Text for Plagiarism action has the following outputs:
Number of Words Analyzed: This output shows the total number of words in the input text that were analyzed for plagiarism detection.
Matches Found: If any matches indicating potential plagiarism are detected, this output will show the number of matches found. For each match, two additional pieces of information are provided:
Matched Text: The specific text snippet from the input that was found to be potentially plagiarized.
Source: The web location or source where the matched text was originally found, indicating the potential source of plagiarism.
No Matches Found: If no plagiarism is detected in the input text, the output will show [Number of words analyzed] analyzed. No matches found.
Troubleshooting
Unable to analyze text - The action requires that the text being analyzed for plagiarism is at least 15 words long. If the input "text to analyze" is shorter than 15 words, the plagiarism analysis will not proceed and you will see an error message "Unable to analyze text". To resolve this, make sure the text you provide as input contains 15 words or more.
