Can Turnitin Detect Course Hero, Reddit, Paraphrasing, Quillbot, Spinbot, Images, PDF, YouTube

Introduction

Many students are tempted to use content from Course Hero, Reddit, Quillbot, Spinbot, Images, PDF or even YouTube. Some are already using this content while the rest and still afraid to use the same content.

In this article, we want to explain whether Turnitin has the capability to detect any of these and also provide recommendations on what you need to do when faced with this challenge.

Can Turnitin Detect Course hero?

Yes, Turnitin can detect course hero.

Course hero is a website with a public domain name that is publicly available in the World Wide Web (www). All the information in the Course hero is publicly available and this will automatically be detected by Turnitin.

Some students may wonder if Turnitin will detect the hidden content under the paywall of course hero. The truth is that Turnitin will detect all the content in course hero whether they are openly available of is hidden under the paywall.

We already mentioned above that course hero is just like any other website that post content. All the information that are posted on the website are automatically plagiarized in the face of Turnitin plagiarism checker.

Do not just copy paste nor download the content from the course hero then submit as your own.

What should you do?

If you are a student and happen to get the same content you are looking for in course hero, just use that content as a reference material. Just borrow the ideas then rewrite them in your own words and cite accordingly. You can also contact professionals like us to rewrite the content on your behalf.

Can Turnitin detect Reddit?

Yes, Turnitin can detect Reddit.

Just like course hero and Chegg, Reddit is a social media platform that is set up on the World Wide Web (www).

All the contents of reddit are indexed by the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing and this makes them publicly available for scrutiny by the Turnitin plagiarism algorithm.

Since Turnitin checks millions of indexed pages for similarity, there is no way the Reddit content can escape Turnitin plagiarism check.

Even the replies in the reddit and sub reddit questions are also indexed and thus available for Turnitin plagiarism check.

What should you do?

Just use the reddit content as a reference material for your work and if possible, ensure you cite it accordingly.

We advise you to rewrite all the information from reddit in your own words to avoid the Turnitin plagiarism.

Can Turnitin Detect Quillbot?

Turnitin can detect some small amount of Quillbot depending on the settings of your Quillbot.

For example, if your paper was 100% plagiarized but you chose to use Quillbot software to paraphrase it, then it can detect about 35% of the plagiarism if you use the standard or simple Quillbot modes. 

Turnitin detects plagiarism in Quillbot but some percentage of plagiarism may be removed depending on the mode you are using.

Actually, I decided to test this manually so that I can get a first-hand experience.

I took my paper that I already submitted earlier, and I was sure it was 100% plagiarism

I took the first page of the 100% plagiarized paper then decided to run it through my premium Quillbot and see how much plagiarism remains.

Quillbot Plagiarism Testing

I copied the content of on the right side (Quillbot paraphrased) and submitted them to Turnitin plagiarism checking software. 

From the above analysis, you can see that Quillbot is just an AI tool that plays around with words in all the sentences. 

From the above report, you will notice that the paper is still showing 31% plagiarism submitted to University of Zambia. 

In other words, Quillbot only removes some percentage of plagiarism. However, you should not use Quillbot if you are a student because it is now allowed. You will be punished heavily if you use it because it amounts to cheating.

Remember, the more advance the modes of Quillbot (such as the Expand modes), the more distorted your sentences will be.

Therefore, in as much as Quillbot may be used to evade plagiarism, it should not be used for academic purposes. 

In other words, you may manage to cheat Turnitin with the Quillbot paraphrasing software, but it will leave your paper distorted because the Artificial Intelligence (AI) of quillbot majorly works by replacing words with synonyms.

What should you do?

If you are a blogger who just want to rewrite some content, then you can just use the simple or normal Quillbot modes but tweak your paper a bit to ensure it does not lose the meaning.

However, if you are an academician or a student, we strongly recommend that you should avoid the use of Quillbot software. It is a serious academic offence, and you can be penalized heavily if your teacher realizes.

Can Turnitin Detect Spinbot?

Turnitin can detect some amount of plagiarism in a document paraphrased with Spinbot depending on the settings.

Spinbot is just another paraphrasing software that works the same as Quillbot.

For example, if your paper was 100% plagiarized but you chose to use Spinbot software to paraphrase it, then it can detect about 45% of the plagiarism if you use the standard or simple Spinbot modes. 

Turnitin will detect plagiarism in Spinbot but some plagiarism will be removed due to the many synonyms used for every word

Remember, the more advance the mode, the more distorted your sentences will be.

Therefore, in as much as Spinbot may be used to evade plagiarism, you should use it with lots of caution.

In other words, you may manage to cheat Turnitin with the Spinbot paraphrasing software, but it will leave your paper distorted because the Artificial Intelligence (AI) of Spinbot majorly works by replacing words with synonyms.

What should you do?

If you are a blogger who just want to rewrite some content, then you can just use the simple or normal Spinbot modes but tweak your paper a bit to ensure it does not lose the meaning.

However, if you are an academician or a student, we strongly recommend that you should avoid the use of Spinbot software. It is a serious academic offence, and you can be penalized heavily if your teacher realizes.

Can Turnitin detect Chegg?

Yes, Turnitin can detect Chegg solutions if the answers are in the text format.

However, Turnitin will not detect the Chegg solutions if the answers are in the image format.

In other words, it basically rolls down to the format used.

I noticed some time back that a good number of mathematical, accounting, and economic solutions in Chegg are in the image format. Such solutions are not detected by Turnitin.

However, you really need to know that Turnitin does not detect all forms of plagiarism.

What should you do?

We advise all the students to rewrite all the Chegg answers in their own words to reduce the risk of plagiarism.

Since the answer is already posted in Chegg, there is high risk that the answer had already been submitted for marking in another institution and this makes them plagiarized. 

Any solution that is already submitted for marking is not original and is automatically plagiarized.

Can Turnitin Detect Images?

Turnitin cannot detect images.

The Turnitin algorithm as currently constituted can only interpret written text. In fact, the images are not visible to Turnitin, and it usually skips them during the plagiarism check.

What this means is that even if you copy paste images, they will not be red flagged by Turnitin software.

Pictures and screenshots are also not detectable by Turnitin plagiarism software.

Despite its inability to detect images, it does not mean that a student should just copy paste images then leave it there.

It is recommended that a student should always reference all the images used in the text.

Currently, it was reposted in the Turnitin website that they are advancing their software so that it will soon be able to detect images.

Can Turnitin Detect PDF?

Turnitin can only detect PDF if the contents of that file are not scanned.

If your PDF contains contents that can be highlighted, then it will be detectable by Turnitin.

Why is Turnitin not detecting your PDF? Because your PDF contains scanned contents.

If you want to provide that Turnitin will not be able to read your PDF then just use your computer and try to highlight the text.

If you find yourself in this situation, just ensure you convert your document to highlight able format so that Turnitn can read it accordingly.

It is just that simple.

In most cases, the students work is contained in highlight able and non-scanned documents, so most of them can be read by Turnitin plagiarism checker.

Can Turnitin detect YouTube?

Turnitin does not check similarity in YouTube video because videos have no highlightable text.

However, Turnitin can detect the contents of the video description or the transcripts of the video. In most cases, the video is just presented as a link or as a URL and this makes it impossible for the Turnitin to detect because all urls are unique.

You should never worry about using YouTube links and videos in your paper because they will not be plagiarized.

However, it is academically advisable to reference such YouTube videos accordingly when using them in your text.
