Abstract:
Computer-based processes are disclosed for analyzing and improving document readability. Document readability is improved by using rules and associated logic to automatically detect various types of writing problems and to make and/or suggest edits for eliminating such problems. Many of the rules seek to generate more concise formulations of the analyzed sentences, such as by eliminating unnecessary words, rearranging words and phrases, and making various other types of edits. Proposed edits can be conveyed, e.g., through a word processing platform, by changing the visual appearance of text to indicate how the text would appear with (or with and without) the edit.

Claim (Index 30):
The non-transitory computer storage of  29 , wherein the method further comprises:\n when the term \u201cthat\u201d or \u201cwho\u201d is followed by a \u201cto be\u201d verb followed by a present participle or a past participle, alerting the user to the possible occurrence of a readability issue by: drawing a user's attention to the target text by modifying the appearance of the scanned text by maintaining any target text in context within the scanned text but altering the appearance of any target text or graphical space adjacent thereto within the word processing application; and simultaneously displaying an edit proposal to a user through a computer interface via a display of text relating to the readability issue on the same general interface as the target text; the edit proposal comprising a suggestion to the user that the term \u201cthat\u201d or \u201cwho\u201d, along with the \u201cto be\u201d verb, can be cut.
