The Plagiarism Checker requires a Premium or Ultimate plan. Upgrade your account to access this feature.
How it works
The plagiarism check runs in three stages:- Input — You paste your text directly into the checker or upload a PDF or DOCX file
- Scan — Nexus AI compares your content against its corpus of millions of web pages, academic databases, and online publications in real time
- Report — You receive a plagiarism report with highlighted matched sections, a similarity score, and direct links to each matched source
Running a plagiarism check
Open the Plagiarism Checker
Log in to Nexus AI and navigate to Plagiarism Checker from your dashboard. This feature is available on Premium and Ultimate plans.
Paste your text or upload a document
Either paste your content directly into the text field, or upload a file in PDF or DOCX format. There is no need to pre-format the text before submitting.
Run the check
Click Check for Plagiarism. Nexus AI begins scanning immediately — most checks complete within seconds regardless of document length.
Review your report
Your report highlights matched passages directly in the text. Each flagged section includes:
- A similarity indicator showing the degree of match
- A direct link to the matched source so you can read the original content
Revise flagged sections
For any passages that are flagged, open the AI Writer to rewrite or paraphrase the content. See the AI Writer guide for instructions on using Paraphrase mode.

How accurate is the check?
How accurate is the check?
Nexus AI scans a broad and continuously updated corpus to surface potential matches. Because every flagged section includes a direct link to the matched source, you can review each result in its original context and decide whether a revision is needed. No automated checker is a substitute for your own judgement.
