Arabic Word-level Readability Visualization for Assisted Text Simplification
This tool aids in manual text simplification for Arabic language users, but it is incremental as it applies existing methods to a new domain.
The paper introduces a Google Docs add-on for visualizing Arabic word-level readability to assist in text simplification, using a lemmatization component connected to a readability lexicon and WordNet-based substitution suggestions, with the tool made publicly available.
This demo paper presents a Google Docs add-on for automatic Arabic word-level readability visualization. The add-on includes a lemmatization component that is connected to a five-level readability lexicon and Arabic WordNet-based substitution suggestions. The add-on can be used for assessing the reading difficulty of a text and identifying difficult words as part of the task of manual text simplification. We make our add-on and its code publicly available.
