Abstract
The present invention improves the comprehensibility of a document being read on a computer system. Rather than requiring a reader to stop and look up the meaning of a word, either on-line or with a printed copy, the present invention will automatically translate unknown words into words known to the reader. By checking each word in a document against a known word list maintained on the computer, the present invention improves the readers comprehension of a document as well as simplifies the reading thereof.
