  • Why Plagramme is the Best Plagiarism Checker on the Market [Review]

    Why Plagramme is the Best Plagiarism Checker on the Market [Review]

    Plagiarism is the wrongful copying of an author’s thoughts and ideas. The internet allows free expression of thoughts and an ample amount of resources to serve as a source of information and inspiration. Unfortunately the ability to freely read and write anything has lead to a major problem of plagiarism across the internet.

    Websites often plagiarise content directly from one another, and it becomes difficult to ascertainthe original source of that information. This is true for students as well, as they have no way of knowing the originality of a paper they may have written, especially the ones that they have to submit to an educational institute where they are heavily scrutinised.

    This is where plagiarism checkers come in. my.plagramme.com is one of the best plagiarism checkers for students who want to check their papers for potentially plagiarised content before submitting them to an educational institute. 1

    A simple to read Plagiarism Checker

    Plagramme is a plagiarism checker that checks for similarities between your document and other documents across the web, mainly through two scores – Similarity Score and Plagiarism Risk Score. Similarity Score shows the percentage similarity between your document with other documents and pages on the web.

    Plagiarism Risk Score indicates the concentration of those similarities in your document. Together they will either give a positive or a negative result. A positive result means that your paper is original enough to be submitted and vice versa. This makes it easy for you to read the result.

    Transparent Results

    There are even more factors you may consider important to deduce whether your document is considered plagiarised and for that, there are a few more scores provided by Plagramme that you can look at. These are Paraphrase Score, Bad Citation Score and Matches.

    In case your institute requires certain other factors to be checked before accepting your paper, these three scores will cover all bases and you can decide for yourself based on scores in each individual test. This transparency of results makes it a viable software for application across many different institutes.

    Plagiarism report can be downloaded by any user but you may share your documents only with your professor. That is entirely upto you.2

    Easy Upload

    Microsoft Word as well as DOC and DOCX formats are supported, covering a vast number of bases as most papers are written in these formats.

    Security

    Plagramme is a very secure software which uses SSL security technology to connect you to a server through an encrypted link. Encryption is a modern technology used in various applications such as Whatsapp to protect data, in this case your document, from being accessed by an intermediary, such as your Internet Service Provider. It works by encrypting your data as an arbitrary code which can only be accessed by you and cannot be read by anyone else. Encryption is one of the best security measures available now.

    Uploaded documents will be anonymously compared to other pages and you can delete them from the servers. This maintains the privacy and ownership of your document.3

    Simple User Interface

    The User Interface of my.Plagramme.com is as simple and easy to use as it gets. After logging in there is a bar on the left side of the screen allowing you to upload your desired document, submit payments, earn free credits and earn money through protecting your own document and RUI.

    On the top bar of the screen there is an option to read an FAQ or Frequently Asked Questions, with an in-depth look at the various tools the website has to offer and how to access them. It is a simple and fast UI that enables you to quickly access all the tools you need.

    Earning by Protecting your Documents

    A fact unknown to many is that most of your work can be legally protected by marking them as your Intellectual Property. There are some requirements to declare them as your Intellectual Property of course, and Plagramme processes that information and protects your work for you.

    So how do I earn from that, you may ask. As an IP owned by you any citation or use of your documents, thesis and other forms of writing will require licensing through you. You can charge for these licenses, and the amount you charge is upto you. What’s more, once you’ve protected one of your documents you can keep earning from its licensing throughout your life making it a valuable additional source of income.4

    Easy Payment Options

    Payment is simple. You can add money to your account via credit cards. All major credit cards are supported. There are also other payment options available depending on your country. For example in India you can pay through online banking and PayPal. Most developed countries have multiple payment methods available.

    After adding credit to your account you can purchase any service on offer. It is simple, cheap and convenient and better than having to use your card everytime you want to purchase a service.

    Great Service

    It is very easy to contact support. Rather than going through the hassle of email you can contact them directly though the site. What’s more, instead of an automated reply an administrator will return to you so you can communicate your problem and find a solution.

    So these are the reasons why Plagramme is such a great plagiarism checker. Its easy to use, it offers fantastic services, it gives detailed reports and is as secure as it gets. As a student and researcher there is little alternative to Plagramme, and as a student who uses it myself, I can vouch for it as being instrumental in cross checking my papers for similarities that I cannot find myself.

  • Torrents VPN – The Safest Way to Download Torrents!

    Have you ever been called by ISP for using illegal websites? Probably, not, if you didn’t use them in your life. But if you want to attend torrents websites without any protection, one day you will receive this call. Sanctions vary from turning off the Internet to administrative fines but you can avoid it all by using a reliable VPN for torrents.

    Does Torrents VPN differ from usual one?

    Although downloading appears one of the simplest tasks VPN provides, not every VPN can do that perfectly. It should be fast, have no logging policy and have servers operating both in user’s country and in a country where there is no strict no-downloading policy. Although all the most popular VPNs can satisfy these requirements, bestvpnrating.com lists 5 services, not only fitting them but having special features for safe downloading:

    1. ExpressVPN, one of the best providers when it comes to speed, website usability, and privacy protection with no logs policy. This provider has servers in various countries and provides support for all possible devices (so safe downloading with tablet is still possible);
    2. NordVPN, Panama-based service which is out of control for any censure and government spying agencies. It’s speed is enough for P2P sharing and its built-in kill switch enables you to work even with torrents, which use geo-filtering;
    3. BufferedVPN, the provider, for whom security is of the highest priority. Incorporating the latest encryption technologies, this service provides the greatest level of protection for files sharing. It also enables using VPN simultaneously on 5 devices;
    4. PureVPN, Although access to files is open through the split channel rather than a common one, this service incorporates NAT firewall protecting from unnecessary packets of traffic and remains one of the most professional among World providers;
    5. Hide My Ass incorporates the most relevant encrypting mechanisms and has no logging policy, so it remains one of the best providers, which are worth relying on.

    Do I need to use only them?

    Although these 5 services are chosen because of their special features for safe downloading with torrents, they are not the must. You can still find more affordable service and result only in a little loss of speed. If you want to use VPN only for downloading 5 songs per month, you don’t need really complicated providers with high capacity. What you really need to pay attention to is does anybody else has an access to your online activities.

    If you have any doubts about any VPN you want to try, read clients’ reviews first and then download the free trial version. Don’t be afraid of a free cheese, everybody understands that it is only for trial purposes. Your task is to use this monthly period to try its capacity using all possible tasks you may need to do. If you are satisfied then you will not refuse to pay for such level of protection.

  • How to use Split Screen for Apps which doesn’t Support it in Android Nougat & Oreo without Root

    How to use Split Screen for Apps which doesn’t Support it in Android Nougat & Oreo without Root

    One of the best features of Android Nougat and Oreo is that they support Apps to be split into two screens thus enabling you to use two apps simultaneously. However, not all apps support Split-screen mode by default, here’s a simple tutorial which will let you use Apps into Split Screen mode if the app doesn’t support Split Screen.

    Tutorial to Use any App into Split-Screen Mode even if the App doesn’t support it –

    • For our tutorial, we will be using “Instagram” app which doesn’t support Split Screen and the Chrome browser.
    • Now, as we aren’t changing any Developer options or are neither rooting the phone. We will need to “Clone” the non-split screen app into “Parallel Space” app.

    Step 1 –  Clone the Non-Split supported app into Parallel Space –

    • First, we need to install Parallel Space app which lets you use 2 instances of any app on the same phone.
      Click here to Download Parallel Space app for Android from Google Play Store
    • Once you have downloaded the Parallel Space, it will ask you to Clone app, here select the “non-split supported app”, in our case we selected “Instagram” as shown in the image below –
      Select the Non Split Support app and Add to Parallel Space
      Select the Non Split Support app and Add to Parallel Space

      That’s it, now you can add more apps which you may want to use in Split screen and which doesn’t support if required.

    Step 2 – Using the Split Screen –

    • Now first launch , the app which supports split screen . In our example it will be “Chrome” . Once you launch the app. Now, long press the “Intents” or “the recent apps” button as its know.
    • The Chrome will now collapse into a half-screen as shown in the following image –
      Chrome in Split Screen Mode
      Chrome in Split Screen Mode

       

    • Now, launch the Parallel Space app , from the launcher or menu visible below. It will load itself into the lower half as shown below
      Parallel Space & Chrome Split Screen
      Parallel Space & Chrome Split Screen

      Now, in the bottom Parallel Space menu, tap on the app you want to launch in split screen which wasn’t supported earlier. i.e “Instagram” in our case –

      Tap or Add any non split supported app into Parallel Space
      Tap or Add any non split supported app into Parallel Space

       

    • Wow! , earlier non-supported split screen app. Will now load and work flawlessly with Split Screen mode too as we can confirm from the image below –
      Instagram in Split Screen View even if it doesn't support it
      Instagram in Split Screen View even if it doesn’t support it

      Thus, you can now use any app or play any game in Split screen such as Clash of Clans, Pokemon Go even if they don’t support it by default.

    • Incase, if you face any issues or have some queries feel free to let us know in the comment section.
