Text Simplification

Also known as: Plain Language Conversion, Content Simplification

The process of rewriting text to make it easier to read and understand, typically by using shorter sentences, simpler vocabulary, and clearer structure while preserving the essential meaning. Text simplification supports cognitive accessibility for people with intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, or conditions affecting concentration and reading comprehension. AI-powered text simplification tools can automate this process, though quality and accuracy must be verified.
