Abstract
This paper presents SPIDER, a system for paraphrasing in document editing and revision with applicability in machine translation pre-editing. SPIDER applies its linguistic knowledge (dictionaries and grammars) to create paraphrases of distinct linguistic phenomena. The first version of this tool was initially developed for Portuguese (ReEscreve v01), but it is extensible to different languages and can also operate across languages. SPIDER has a totally new interface, new resources which contemplate a wider coverage of linguistic phenomena, and applicability to legal terminology, which is described here.
