What simplifying does
Simplifying keeps the meaning but removes barriers: it replaces jargon with everyday words, breaks long sentences into short ones, and cuts unnecessary complexity. The result says the same thing in a way more people can understand.
Give the AI the text and ask it to "explain this in plain, simple language" or "rewrite this for a general audience". You can even ask it to explain something "like I'm five" for the simplest possible version.
Check the meaning held
- Simplify one paragraph at a time for control.
- Specify the audience (general readers, beginners, a specific age).
- Verify that simplifying didn't lose important nuance or accuracy.
- Keep essential technical terms if the audience needs them.
- Read it aloud — if it flows, it's clear.
