The scan time for a file depends of course on the size of it. However, the major factor is the quality of the internet connection and the availability of the search engines.
In addition , the CopySpider has three search levels: Quick, Normal and Detailed. These levels act on the document size, i.e. on the amount and manner of choosing relevant parts of the text to be searched on the Internet.
In our tests , with normal availability of internet connection, the scan time of a file of 20 pages with 6000 words took between 2 min (Quick level) and 5 min (Detailed level) .
This performance is an important differential of CopySpider when compared to its competing systems. The accuracy of the results with small computational time is due to the solution technique used in CopySpider, which is based on scientific methods published by international researchers.
