    Dear Sirs,
    I would very much appreciate if you could offer me a guide on the following problem.
    We intend to identify instances of copied exams automatically.
    Is there a tool that can automatically compare texts (say in a set of 150-200 text files corresponding to answers in the form of assays) and be able to organize them in clusters according to the level of similarity, and display results in a visual format (or rather, a tabular form). Ideally, the teacher would be able set parameters (e.g. such as a threshold of similarity, or the frequency of occurrence of synonyms, etc.) to recognize unusually similar texts.
    Thanks in advance for your kind attention,
    JMD

    Hello Jose - Have you checked the "Workshare Compare" tool already? This will allow you to compare changes made between two documents in seconds.

    Please try that and let us know if you have further questions.
