Scribd Text Matching Beta

Scribd is committed to helping copyright holders prevent unauthorized content from appearing on Scribd. We are proud to announce another step in our continued efforts to preventing unauthorized content on Scribd, the Scribd Text Matching Beta.

Scribd has developed proprietary technology designed to identify and automatically remove certain infringing content from Scribd by comparing uploaded works to works that copyright holders have identified as copyrighted works that are not permitted to be posted on Scribd.

As the beta status indicates, the Scribd Text Matching system is in an early, testing stage. The accuracy and capabilities of the Text Matching system will continually improve as we work out the challenging technical problems involved in this system. However, it is important to note that no automated system can ever be 100% accurate, and so it is impossible to guarantee any particular results from the system.

In order for the Text Matching technology to be effective, a copyright holder or its representative must upload content it wishes to be incorporated into the Text Matching system. If you are interested in participating in this beta program, please fill out our signup form and a Scribd representative will contact you.
