Inspiration

Helping teachers and students with plagiarism issues.

What it does

When you enter a word or sentence and a link, the program will check through the link and the links on that link for that phrase. You can adjust how deep it will go with a number.

How we built it

Visual Studio Code(HTML,CSS), Eclipse EE (Java)

Challenges we ran into

Servlets, getPost(), importing .jar files

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Building a web crawler without any libraries except jsoup, creating a local server and being able to run files/deploy servlets on it.

What we learned

How java backend works.

What's next for Plagiarism Checker

We will expand it so that there are multiple pages, also so that it 1. runs faster 2. you can specify the accuracy of the search, and an option where instead of searching by a link you can search the entire web for occurrences of your phrase.
