Vo Dinh Hieu won the second prize of Vietnam Talent Award in 2017. The DoIT includes two basic features: spell checking and duplicate detection for Vietnamese documents. The system can handle documents in many popular formats: doc, docx, pdf, ppt, etc. With the DoIT spell checker, . Duplicate Detection will indicate that sentences / paragraphs in the document are duplicated with the sentences / paragraphs of the documents in the database of the system. There are three levels of overlap, including high, low, and medium, and are represented by three colors. Users can share, send documents through the system. Readers can experience the product at http: //doit.uet.vnu.edu.h or at http://doit.lic.vnu.edu.vn.
