Why it works

Make the wording easier to follow

Use the text simplifier for a dense explanation, a formal instruction or a sentence with too many clauses. It requests familiar words and clearer sentence structure using the text you provide.

A simpler version still needs your review. Check specialist terms, conditions and uncertainty against the original, especially when they are central to the meaning.

Use familiar wording

Replace unnecessarily formal expressions with everyday language where the meaning allows it.

Untangle long sentences

Break a complicated sentence into clearer steps or shorter sentences when that helps the reader follow the same idea.

Keep the limits visible

The task is instructed to retain qualifications and essential terminology. Review the result for changes in certainty or meaning.

questions

What is included in the free preview?

There is one anonymous preview per network every 30 days, shared across Syntactor’s tools. A Free account includes 5 rewrites per month, up to 300 words per request. See Billing for current paid plans and allowances.

Can I simplify one sentence or a whole paragraph?

Yes. Paste existing text within your plan’s word limit. You can simplify an individual sentence or work through a longer draft a paragraph at a time.

Will it produce a particular reading level?

No reading age or grade level is measured or guaranteed. The task requests plain English, and you decide whether the result suits your reader.

Does it summarize or explain missing information?

It simplifies the wording you provide. It is not a research or tutoring service, and you should not expect it to fill gaps in the source. Essential terms and claims still need review.

Can I adjust the wording and length?

Choose Keep most, Rewrite some or Rewrite most for the wording, and Shorter, Similar or Longer for length. Simpler wording may need more words to make an idea clear.

Are facts or citations checked?

No. The task is instructed to retain them, but automatic fact-checking and plagiarism checking are not provided. Compare important details with the source.
