Inspiration
Writing essays and other papers can be difficult, especially when using a repeating concept or phrase. When used too many times, a phrase becomes old and makes the paper seem repetitive
What it does
Paraphraser takes a sentence inputted by a user and returns a similar but different sentence, replacing some words with synonyms, and leaving some.
How we built it
Paraphraser uses a Google API to put the given sentence through a word bank, and the same is then done to the outputted sentence, this is done a few times. The words are also translated through different languages to find similar words.
Challenges we ran into
The API was required to be used in a language that no-one in our group knew, and our website was created in a separate language.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
While difficult, we overcame the challenges after multiple failed attempts.
What we learned
We learned about API's and how to implement them.
What's next for Paraphraser
Paraphraser can sometimes return the exact same sentence, and can sometimes return a sentence different from the inputted one, which we hope to fix.
