ok, i don't think you can compare by meaning of the text, but the words comparison can be achieved either using Appian OOTB functions or in DB as well.

But this may return false positives as well, "hello world" and "world hello" would be same.

To enhance this further more, split the words in sentence and add indexes to each word, compare both the words along with indexes, to get the probability of the outcome based on the number of words and its index in a sentence.

Hi romiev8844 ,

Are you looking for text comparison in two different doc/pdf files(like two different versions of a document and to check what has changed between two) or in two strings(like "Hello World" and "Hello World Appian")?

Hi,

Can you post an example of what you are trying to compare?

Are you referring to meaning of the text? or the words in the text?

[quote userid="246743" url="~/discussions/f/plug-ins/34710/similarity-between-two-sentences"]Does anyone know if there is any out of the box solution [/quote]

There isn't an out-of-the-box solution in Appian for text similarity

Yes CPU usage for Similarity Plugin is very high depending on strings but You can make use of Appian built in function to build your solution as per your requirement or custom plugin.

AFAIK there in't any , And I don't think Appian is right fit for it. it's better to integrate with a service that does the work
