ABOUT DUMB IT DOWN
Clarity starts with the words.
Dumb It Down turns dense writing into language that is easier to follow. Paste a passage, choose how simple you want it, and read the result alongside the original.
A rewrite that keeps the details
The tool aims to preserve the facts, numbers, conditions and exceptions in your text. It rewrites the language rather than producing a short summary. A simpler version can sometimes be longer because an unfamiliar term needs explaining.
Three ways to make it clearer
- Lightly simpler: small edits that keep your tone and terminology.
- Clear & simple: everyday words and shorter sentences for a general reader.
- Extra simple: very common words, with brief explanations where needed.
You can keep the original language or choose one of the supported output languages. These levels describe writing styles, not certified reading grades.
Start with a passage
Try a work email, a paragraph from an article, or a technical explanation. Each submission can contain up to 1,000 words. No account is required; the current free allowance is shown below the text boxes.
Give the result a read
AI can change meaning or miss a qualification. Compare names, numbers, deadlines and exceptions with the original. The result is an aid to understanding, and does not verify whether the original claims are correct.
