EASIER system. Language resources for cognitive accessibility

Difficulties in understanding texts that contain unusual words can create accessibility barriers for people with cognitive, language and learning disabilities. In this work, the EASIER system, a web system that provides various tools which improve cognitive accessibility, is presented. From a text in Spanish, complex words are detected and synonyms, a definition and a pictogram are offered for each complex word detected. Language and accessibility resources were used, such as easy-to-read dictionaries. The web system can be accessed from both desktop computers and mobile devices. Moreover, a browser extension is also offered.
