Discussion Groups / English Usage / January 2004A PC-Win application that will paraphrase text?
I saw one about 8 years ago that would take a physician's medical report and paraphrase it to the point the insurance companies did not know it was a boiler-plated letter. It worked on business letters, too. I lost track of the developer and could now make use of this type of application. Does anyone know if something like it exists? >I saw one about 8 years ago that would take a physician's medical >report and paraphrase it to the point the insurance companies did not >know it was a boiler-plated letter.

I think they can still be hired. A secretary is a piece of furniture. Shirley you mean "administrative assistant." Or perhaps "executive factotum."

I think they can still be hired. I take it you haven't tried to hire one recently. Or do you mean people with such a title (regardless of ability) can still be found?

It never existed, using your description of it. Paraphrasing has nothing to do with adding boilerplate to a letter or to any other document. Boilerplate has a specific meaning, important in legal work especially. Can you rephrase your question?

I think he meant disguising boilerplate by paraphrasing it automatically. -- john >>>I saw one about 8 years ago that would take a physician's medical >>>report and paraphrase it to the point the insurance companies did not [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >I think he meant disguising boilerplate by paraphrasing it >automatically. Yes, it would hide the fact that the letter was a boiler plated medical report. Each time you ran it, it would alter the sentence structure so that it read differently, but said the same thing. >>I saw one about 8 years ago that would take a physician's medical >>report and paraphrase it to the point the insurance companies did not [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >document. Boilerplate has a specific meaning, important in legal work >especially. Can you rephrase your question? Yes, it did exist. It was a DOS application called GhostScribe. >>>I saw one about 8 years ago that would take a physician's medical >>>report and paraphrase it to the point the insurance companies did not [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >Yes, it did exist. It was a DOS application called GhostScribe. Fine, but it didn't function as you described, as several people have pointed out. It may well be you know what boilerplate is, but that didn't come across in your post. SignatureCharles Riggs Email address: chriggs¦at¦eircom¦dot¦net |
