How to bypass Grammarly, Copyleaks and many other plagiarism checkers (medium.com/evilksandr)

Replacing the characters i, a, e, o, p, c, x in the text with similar ones in the Ukrainian keyboard layout leads to the fact that plagiarism detectors (Grammarly plagiarism checker and others) skip such text, mark it as unique (without any plagiarism) and do not even signal that the characters have been replaced with Cyrillic ones. The text with replaced characters looks natural and has original readability.

I think that my report is a pretty interesting case and will be useful for many IT guys and companies that are playing in the plagiarism checking market.


Strange that they don't normalize both the input and reference texts, I do a lot of work with text from different sources and I mostly work with normalized versions of them.


Some plagiarism checkers like plagiarismcheck.org, plagscan.com and unicheck.com do this.
