Is there a Tool to compare Duplicate content for non web Live content?

[bozzie311]

Is there a tool that can give me % of duplicate content when comparing two pieces of content that are not Live on the web? Like copyscape but for content that may not be indexed by copyscape or not live on the web?

Does Word or any other program allow you do do this?

Can't you make your own private index in Copyscape and compare content against just that?

If you're comparing a lot of pages 1to1 though, I guess that would be tedious.

Compare and merge feature in Word? Not really going to work how I suspect you want though.

Yeah, private copyscape index if it's only a few pieces.

I haven't tested this, but apparently Google Docs can compare and highlight the differences between two documents - perhaps this is close enough?

Hi Bozzie,

I use WinMerge (open source software) to compare individual files/folders containing text or code.

Also, a quick search for [find similar files] on google brought me numerous software that will let you find similar files on your hard drive.

Best regards,

I've never seen a percentage similar type option in Word, but you can merge and compare two documents to see the differences. I don't think it'll work enough for your case, it's more helpful for two documents that are in the same order and spotting the differences between them (like a draft proposal and final proposal).

I'm going through some of the older questions, and wondering if you found a solution to your problem, or if you're still looking for some advice. Thanks!
