Duplicate Checker: After 300,000 Words, Don't Rewrite the Same Passage Twice

Deep into a long novel, it's easy to rewrite the same action, the same inner thought, or the same description of a place. This checker first recalls candidates with bigram / LCS matching, then uses a semantic pass to judge similar passages and mark their locations and similarity.

How it works · Done in three steps

From paste to done, in three steps

01 · Paste a chapter or excerpt

Check a single chapter, several chapters in a row, or any passage you suspect you've written before.

02 · Split and compare automatically

The text is split into paragraphs and sentences, similar wording is cross-checked, and anything that looks repeated is pulled up.

03 · Fix it by location

Each result shows where the two passages are, how similar they are, and what kind of repetition it is, so you can go straight to the right spot in your draft.

Features · Highlights

Not window dressing — tools built around how writers actually work

Literal Duplicate Recall

Catches exact repeats, partially copied lines, and sentences with only a few words changed but the same structure.

LCS Similarity

Uses longest common subsequence matching on longer sentences and passages, so lightly rewritten repeats don't slip through.

Semantic Review

Rechecks high-similarity matches to see whether they really say the same thing, cutting false alarms from a character name simply appearing again and again.

Passage Locations

Shows the paragraph and sentence numbers for each repeat, so you don't have to search the whole manuscript yourself.

Duplication Overview

Totals your overall duplication rate, highest similarity score, and high-risk pairs, so you can tackle the worst offenders first.

Built for Long Fiction

Run it before you publish a chapter to trim repeated passages, so readers don't feel like you're padding the word count.

FAQ · Frequently asked questions

What to get clear before you start

Is this the same as an academic plagiarism checker?

No. It's built for fiction: it finds sentences, actions, and descriptions you reuse in your own chapters. It doesn't check against a web-wide database.

Why use bigram, LCS, and semantic review together?

Bigram and LCS matching are fast and good at literal similarity. Semantic review catches passages that changed the words but kept the meaning, and cuts false alarms caused by recurring character names and story-bible details.

How much text can I check?

It's best for one chapter or a few chapters at a time. For a very long novel, check by volume or in batches of 3-5 chapters for clearer locations.

What similarity score needs fixing?

Take a look at anything above 0.75, and start with anything above 0.85. Action, inner thoughts, and setting descriptions repeat most often.

Will my results be saved?

No. The check runs locally in your browser, so your text isn't uploaded or kept long term. You only get the repeat locations for this check.
