What the scores mean

The report's summary shows one line per category with what was found and what is left to do. Here is how to read each one.

Plagiarism

The share of your text that matches published pages, with each matched passage listed as a card that names its source. A high number is not automatically a problem: a quoted and cited passage still matches its source. What matters is whether each match is quoted, cited, or your own words. Open a card to see the source and decide.

AI likelihood

How likely the writing is to be machine generated, as an estimate for the document and per sentence. Treat it as a signal to review, never as proof either way. Formal, plain or formulaic writing by a person can score high; edited AI text can score low. See the AI detection collection for the limits.

Spelling and grammar

The count of language findings: spelling, grammar, punctuation, and locale conventions such as quote marks. Each has a suggested correction you can accept or ignore. Findings follow the language each sentence is written in.

Clarity and word choice

Suggestions, not errors: wordy or unclear phrasing and weak word choices. They never appear on a passage that matched a source, because paraphrasing copied text is not a fix.

Citations

Passages that need a citation and citations that are formatted wrongly for the style you chose (APA, MLA or Chicago).

The done states

When every finding is fixed or ignored, the row reads Clear or N fixed · M ignored. Not checked means a pass did not run on this document (for example, style on a very short text); Partly checked means a pass covered some of the document and reported where it stopped.
