Explain Selected Text

When a paragraph is dense, the hardest part is figuring out what it is trying to say, not translating each word. This Drop in lets you select a sentence and instantly get a clearer version that keeps the original meaning. It is useful for papers, technical docs, and anything full of jargon when you want momentum more than a research detour.

It is designed for momentum: clarify the one line that is slowing you down, then continue reading without a copy paste workflow.

You can highlight text to request a simpler explanation, get a plain-language rewrite back, and keep reading on the same page without switching tabs.
