Plain Language Reader - Easy

Letters from city hall or school, hospital instructions, contracts, insurance papers. Plain Language Reader rewrites hard texts like these into short sentences and plain words. Compare each sentence with the original, tap hard terms for an explanation, or listen with read aloud. All of it happens on your device. ▶ MAIN FEATURES ■ Short sentences, plain words Long sentences are split at natural break points, never inside parentheses. Wordy phrases and hard words become everyday ones, and double negatives are untangled. In Japanese texts, stiff honorifics become plain requests and era years get the Western year. ■ Every change marked, undo any one Tap a colored change to see the original words and why it changed, and undo just that one if you like. Where the rules can't be sure, the original wording is kept. ■ Side by side with the original See each original sentence next to its plain version to check the exact wording of procedures and contracts. You also get a readability score before and after, and a check that no dates or amounts went missing. ■ 532 Japanese and 513 English terms explained Tap a dotted word such as "deductible" or "power of attorney" for a short explanation. Add explanations into the text, browse the Terms tab by field, or look a word up in your dictionary app. ■ Furigana, word spacing and read aloud For Japanese texts, add furigana and word spacing. Read aloud highlights each sentence as it is read. ■ Presets for who is reading Child, Language learner, Older reader or Everyone sets strength, furigana, word spacing and text size at once. Then fine-tune: three strengths, each kind of change on or off, line spacing, paper color, font. ▶ EXAMPLES "prior to" → "before", "in order to" → "to", "utilize" → "use", "in the event that" → "if", "commence" → "start", "provide assistance" → "help". ▶ HOW TO USE 1. Select text in any app and tap "Read in plain words", or use the share menu, the Quick Settings tile for copied text, pasting or a .txt file. 2. Tap colored parts for the original words, and dotted words for meanings. 3. Switch to "Side by side" to compare. Save as many texts as you like, with favorites, search, sharing and automatic backup. ▶ SUPPORTED TEXTS Rewriting works for Japanese and English texts.
