Read research papers faster
Research papers are written for specialists. Dense terminology, passive voice, and long sentences make them hard to read, even inside your own field.
Simplify Academic rewrites each section in clear English while keeping the findings, numbers, and key terms intact. Choose the Student persona for study notes or the Researcher persona to keep more technical detail.
Built for academic text
PDF upload: drop in a paper and the text is extracted in your browser before it is simplified.
Protected terms: list the terms that must not change, such as gene names, methods, or acronyms.
Follow-up chat: ask questions about the simplified text, like “what does this result mean?” or “what are the limitations?”.
Example
Our results indicate that the intervention elicited a statistically significant attenuation of systolic blood pressure (p < 0.01) relative to the placebo arm, although the effect size was modest.
The treatment lowered the top blood pressure number more than the placebo did. This difference was unlikely to be due to chance (p < 0.01), but the effect was small.
Frequently asked questions
Can I upload a whole research paper as a PDF?
Yes. Upload the PDF and the text is extracted automatically. For very long papers, simplifying one section at a time gives the clearest results.
Is my paper stored on your servers?
No. Your text is sent to the AI model to generate the simplified version and is not stored after the response is returned.
Does it keep scientific terms correct?
Key terms are kept, and you can add your own list of protected terms that will never be changed.
