Computer Assisted Writing (CAW)

App developed to be an aid when writing Japanese texts, similar to Grammarly.

Live demo

The phases of this project are:

  1. (DONE) Scrape thousands of words (synonyms and definitions) from multiple dictionary websites.
  2. (DONE) Create an API (service) for fetching synonyms.
  3. (INCOMPLETE) Create a text editor where the user can write, click a word to open a popover that displays synonyms, and replace the word for the selected one.
  4. (NO PROGRESS) This app will be integrated to device's text input method software, and provide word alternatives/suggestions on the go, facilitating the creation of more sophisticated sentences.
  5. (NO PROGRESS) Help fixing grammar.

※ The user must know Japanese, as it only works as an aid, not as a translator.
