About Plainly, Plain English Reader

Read the dense page once and actually get it. Highlight a confusing sentence, click Plainly, and the side panel gives it back in plain English at a reading level you choose. Facts, names, numbers and dates stay exactly as written, so you get a clearer version, never an invented one. Made for the moments dense text becomes a real barrier. Dyslexia, ADHD, reading in a second language, or a tired brain at the end of a long day. What it does - Turns a highlighted sentence or paragraph into plain English in a second or two - Lets you pick the reading level, from about grade 3 up to about grade 8 - Shows a word-count and sentence-length readout so you see the level shift - Copies the plain-English result in one click - Reads a whole article at once when one section is not enough - Keeps your recent results on this device, and nowhere else Free and membership The Simple reading level on your own selection stays free every day, five reads included daily. Pro features, every reading level, whole-article reads, no daily cap and your last ten results, unlock with a Zovo membership. Built honestly Plainly runs on Chrome's built-in on-device AI.
