Hard-to-read studies? Paste them into AI and have them translated into plain English.
7 min · Reviewed 2026
The big idea
Real research papers are written for other researchers, not for teens. AI can rewrite a confusing paragraph into something you actually understand — without losing the meaning.
Some examples
'Rewrite this abstract in plain English a 9th grader can read.'
'Define every word over 8 letters in this paragraph.'
'What's this paper actually saying? In two sentences.'
'Give me an analogy that explains this concept from the study.'
Try it!
Find an academic abstract on Google Scholar. Paste it into AI and ask for a plain-English version. Compare to the original.
