I've managed to login and although it paraphrase short sentences anything of a reasonable length results in: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 571 bytes) in /home1/turnitin/public_html/paraphrase/inc/class.paraphrase.php on line 563 I put in "During this same period, the internationalisation of UK HE resulted in a higher proportion of overseas students coming to study in the UK" but if I delete "UK" it gives me: The internationalisation of Britain he resulted in a higher proportion of overseas educatees coming to study in the, during this same period. During this same period, the internationalisation of Britain he resulted in a higher proportion of overseas educatees coming to study in the. It would offer me more it seems but "The iteration was stopped (limitation is applied to FREE Trial only)." However, if that is the best paraphrase it can do, I'd not want to subscribe. Seems a bit of a con in my opinion! Or am I missing something? Lynn J Shaw Academic Registrar, Professional Higher Education ________________________________ From: Plagiarism [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Toby Grainger Sent: Friday, October 07, 2011 4:37 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Turnitin Paraphrase Colleagues I'm a little surprised that I haven't seen much debate about Turnitin Paraphrase. I've tried to sign up for a free trial, but the log-in screen keeps telling me there's an error in my (error-free) email address, so I haven't been able to test my hypothesis, but it seems to me to be distinctly dubious. Surely the service will allow users (our students) to cut text from a published source, "paraphrase" it by feeding it into the software, and paste it (without attribution) into their own work, secure in the knowledge that Turnitin's other product won't match it to the original source. Have I got that right?
