Complicated, made simple

Jargon makes simple ideas hard. The VirtuaChat Text Simplifier rewrites complex writing in plain language at the level you choose — from "explain it like I'm 5" with everyday comparisons, to a clear teenager-level explanation, to plain English for adults that keeps the important details.

Paste a paragraph from a legal agreement, a medical leaflet, a research abstract, a technical manual or a government letter, or just type a concept you want explained. The simplifier keeps what's important, explains difficult terms, uses short sentences and adds a helpful analogy where it makes things click.

It's great for students, parents explaining things to kids, anyone dealing with paperwork, and writers who want their own text to be easier to read. For legal, medical or financial decisions, use it to understand — then check with a professional.

Analogies that click

Pick the level

Like I'm 5, like I'm 12, or plain English for adults.

Jargon explained

Frequently asked questions

It's a style of explanation that uses the simplest words and everyday comparisons, the way you'd explain something to a young child. It's a fast way to grasp the core idea of anything.

In “Plain English” mode it keeps all key details and just makes them readable. The “Like I'm 5” mode focuses on the big idea, so use plain English when details matter.

It's a great way to understand what a text says, but it isn't legal or medical advice. For decisions, confirm with a qualified professional.
