Rewrite this in plain language

Same meaning, half the words, no corporate filler.

Anything you wrote that sounds like a company instead of a person.editingclarityplain language

Rewrite my text in plain language without losing meaning.

The text: <paste>
Who will read it: <audience and how much they already know>
What they must take away: <the one thing>
Terms I must keep, even if technical: <list, or "none">

Do this:
1. Rewrite it: shorter sentences, active voice, concrete nouns, one idea per paragraph. Aim for at least 30% fewer words. Keep my meaning and my terms.
2. Show a table of what you cut or changed and why: filler, hedging, jargon, repetition, passive voice, abstract nouns. Quote the original phrase and the replacement.
3. Flag any sentence where cutting words changed the meaning, so I can decide.
4. Point out the three habits in my writing that added the most words, so I can catch them myself next time.
5. One-line version: the whole text as a single sentence, for a subject line or a summary.

Do not add new claims, examples or flourishes. Plainer, not different.

Replace every <placeholder> with your own details before you send it.

How to use it

1Paste the whole text, including the parts you're attached to. Those are usually the problem.
2Read the 'what I cut and why' list. It teaches you to write the plain version first next time.
3Keep any technical terms your reader needs. Ask it to flag rather than remove them.
