To do that, we use our in-house software, which can find not only copy-pasted fragments, but even paraphrased pieces of text.

Please note that it is possible for a writing company to guarantee an absence of plagiarism against open Internet sources and a number of certain databases, but there is no technology (except for turnitin.com itself) that could guarantee no plagiarism against all sources that are indexed by turnitin.
