Nowadays, with the rapid development of new technologies, it is very difficult to be an active member of the society unless one is proficient in reading. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who experience reading or writing problems. Experts who create materials for these groups of people have few user-friendly tools at their disposal in order to prepare easy-to- read texts. The present work has been done with the aim of providing support for text simplification experts who prepare easy-to-read texts in English, which is why different Natural Language Processing tools have been integrated in an already existing text editor.
