For dyslexic & ADHD readers

Long articles are hard. We break them into steps you can actually finish.

Paste a link or open any page in your browser. SimplRead pulls out the main story, puts it in plain words, and shows you one short slide at a time. No endless scrolling. No wall of text.

There's also a browser extension and an Android app — click the icon on any article, or share a link from your phone.

What it does

You find an article you want to read — maybe in Chrome, maybe copied from an email. SimplRead strips away the ads and sidebars, rewrites the important bits in simpler language, and puts them on a calm full-screen reader.

Each slide is just a few sentences. You tap or press space when you're ready for the next one. Big type, lots of breathing room, and optional dyslexia-friendly formatting if you want it.

Use cases

Anything long and text-heavy — SimplRead pulls out the main points and puts them on calm, bite-sized slides.

Articles & news

Long news stories, blog posts, and opinion pieces — simplified into plain language, one slide at a time.

Research papers & snippets

Dense academic text or copied excerpts — SimplRead extracts the key findings without the jargon wall.

Messages & social posts

Long threads, Facebook posts, or group chats — paste them in and read the gist in order.

YouTube videos

Paste a YouTube link and SimplRead reads the captions, then summarises the video as slides you can skim.

Long emails & newsletters

That 2,000-word company update or weekly newsletter — cut down to the parts that actually matter.

Ways to use it

Extension, web app, or Android — use one or all three. Same calm reader and saved history everywhere.

Browser extension

On any article page, click the SimplRead icon. It simplifies the page and opens the reader right there — you never leave the site.

Paste into the web app

Got text from an email or PDF? Paste it at simplread.com/app. Same reader, same saved history.

Pick up where you left off

Everything you simplify gets saved. Star your favourites, filter by topic, and reopen any article in the same slide reader.

On your phone

Share a link from Chrome or any app, or paste text directly. Same account and reading history as the web — download the Android app.

Reading options

Bionic text and word highlighting are built in — tuned for dyslexic and ADHD readers, not bolted on as an afterthought. Bring your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, and others) so you stay in control of cost.

About ads

I hate ads too. SimplRead strips clutter from the original article page — sidebars, pop-ups, the usual noise. In the reader we show a few small ads to cover hosting and development. I hate paywalls more, so full access stays free. The ads only pay for running the site — not to lock anyone out.
