What's New in PaperCheck - January 2026
You can now upload your own requirements, submit Word documents without converting to PDF, and benefit from a faster, more stable PaperCheck.
Quick Summary
- Custom Checks: Upload your own requirements (Word/PDF/Excel) for tailored analysis.
- Direct Word Uploads: Submit
.docxfiles without converting to PDF. - Reliability: Faster analysis, table formatting fixes, and automatic refunds for errors.
Upload your own requirements
Upload requirement files (Word, PDF, or Excel) and PaperCheck will run them as custom checks. Reuse them across uploads so your paper meets your university or journal guidelines every time.
For example, upload your university's formatting guidelines or a document specifying:
- Citation style requirements (e.g., "Use APA 7th edition throughout")
- Word count limits for each section
- Specific terminology or style preferences
- Journal submission guidelines
PaperCheck will check your thesis against these requirements and flag any issues automatically.
Submit your thesis as Word, no PDF conversion needed
PaperCheck now fully supports Microsoft Word documents. You no longer need to convert your thesis to PDF before uploading. Simply submit your .docx file, and PaperCheck will analyze it directly.
