When Text Is Too Hard to Read

Some content is written in a way that makes it unnecessarily difficult. Long sentences, technical jargon, complex vocabulary. The meaning is buried under words you have to struggle through.

Simplify text takes that content and rewrites it at a reading level you can understand. Same information, easier words.


How It Works

Select text on any webpage. Choose the reading level you want. Helperbird rewrites the content:

  • Long sentences become shorter ones
  • Complex words become simpler alternatives
  • The meaning stays the same, but it's easier to follow

Choose Your Reading Level

Pick the level that works for you:

  • Elementary: Simple words and short sentences
  • Middle school: More vocabulary, still accessible
  • High school: Standard complexity
  • Original: No changes, just the original text

Different content might need different levels. Adjust as you go.


Who Uses This

Language learners reading content in a language they're still learning.

Students dealing with difficult academic texts.
