Abstract: In an approach to paraphrasing text, a computing device receives text as viewed by a user. The computing device determines whether a personalized dictionary is available, where the personalized dictionary includes a writing history of the first user. In response to determining the personalized dictionary is available, the computing device retrieves the personalized dictionary. The computing device determines, based, at least in part, on the personalized dictionary, whether the first user prefers paraphrasing of the received text. In response to determining the first user prefers paraphrasing of the received text, the computing device determines paraphrased text based on contents of the personalized dictionary. The computing device displays the paraphrased text to the first user.
