How to Simplify Text on Any Website with Helperbird
Learn how to use Helperbird to simplify complex text into plain, easy-to-understand language. A complete guide to the Simplify feature.
What is Simplify?
The Simplify feature rewrites complex or technical text into plain, easy-to-understand language. It keeps the meaning of the original text but uses simpler words and shorter sentences so the content is easier to read.
Who is This For?
This feature is helpful for:
- People with reading difficulties or dyslexia
- English language learners who find complex text hard to understand
- Students reading academic or technical content above their reading level
- Seniors who prefer plain language
- Anyone who finds jargon-heavy websites confusing
- People with cognitive disabilities who benefit from simpler text
Step 1: Open Helperbird
Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar. It looks like a small owl and is usually in the top-right corner of your browser.
This will open the Helperbird menu.
Step 2: Select Text on a Webpage
Go to any webpage and use your mouse to highlight the text you want to simplify. Click and drag to select a sentence, paragraph, or larger section.
Step 3: Simplify the Text
With your text selected, use the Highlight Menu or the Helperbird menu to choose Simplify. Helperbird will process the selected text and rewrite it in plainer language.
Step 4: Read the Simplified Text
A panel will appear showing the simplified version of the text. The meaning stays the same, but the words and sentences are easier to read.
You can copy the simplified text to your clipboard or close the panel when you are done.
Tip: Simplify works great with text-to-speech. Simplify a passage first, then have Helperbird read it aloud for even easier comprehension.
