An Accessible Evaluation Tool to Detect Easy-To-Read Barriers.

People with cognitive and learning disabilities make up a significant percentage of the general population. Among the difficulties of this group, it is frequent that they present a poor comprehension of texts. The easy-to-read guidelines facilitate the comprehension of texts but adapting texts according to these rules is a time-consuming manual labour. There are automatic approaches to simplify texts and assess difficulty after the text is published, but there is not a tool to help writers and editors in the editorial process. In this paper a platform is presented to assist in this process by visually identifying problematic elements indicated in the guidelines. This approach allows publishers to do their job more efficiently.
