Fun writer

The Project

The project is a website where the user can enter any English text into a text box by typing or pasting it. Then, the user can select between three functions, paraphrase, summarize, and keyword. The paraphrase function works on single sentences and will rewrite the sentence differently but still have the same overall meaning. 3 of these new sentences will be displayed below the box. The summary function can be applied to paragraphs rather than single sentences. It will shorten the input text into a few sentences containing the main subjects and points. The keyword function will find the main subjects and verbs of the text, and display them along with others words that are similar or related to it.

Team Comments

I noticed that a lot of my classmates were having some trouble with paraphrasing and summarizing their English writing. I decided to create this project to hopefully assist with writing. I designed this project to help users improve what they have written, but not write for them.

I ran into a few challenges when implementing the three functions. I realized that the libraries used may contain some bugs that may produce unexpected results. To solve this issue, I tested multiple different libraries through trial and error until I found the ones with the most desirable results.

If I were to make another project like this, I would try to run more tests on the libraries and also consider using different types of machine learning. A future development I have considered is using open-source A.I. and training it to analyze and edit text, and as well as adding more functions.
