A-Number Sherlock Holmes

A-Number Sherlock Holmes

The program is used for identifying if two different texts (e.g. forum comments, e-mail messages, office memos, etc.) are written by the same person, after comparing them. The result is presented as the probability percentage of that event on a 100 point scale.

For now, this program works only with texts written in English language.
