Taking text simplification to the user
Susana Bautista, Raquel Hervás, Pablo Gervás, Axel Bagó, Javier García-Ortiz · 2018
There are many people who experience reading or writing problems. To address this challenge, different possible approaches can be followed: to provide technologies to ease the task of human volunteers faced with the challenge of rewriting existing texts so that poor literacy readers can read them, or to provide technologies to help poor literacy readers dealing with the challenge of understanding texts that are originally beyond their reach. Following the latter approach, the present paper describes the development of elementary modules useful for simplification processes and the integration of these modules into a web browser as web services.
