- Google’s new simplification tool for iOS explains close and confusing text on the web
- Simplify User Gemini AI to translate the text into plain, readable language without leaving the page
- Users can highlight confusing content and press the “Simplify” button to reveal jargon
Reading an article about a technical or particularly complex subject sometimes feels like navigating a maze instead of following a tale. Google’s iOS app has a new solution if you encounter a scientific paper or article written by someone who is a little too happy to be blunt. The new Simplify feature for Google’s mobile app rewrites any jargon-filled internet text for languages that do not require a special dictionary and without leaving the app.
To use simplify, browse the Internet from the Google app. When you hit a wall of unnecessarily complicated text, you can highlight it and a small simplification button appears. By pressing the button reworked, which highlighted sections to something far more understandable to the average person.
Simplifying is essentially a shortcut to Google’s Gemini AI. Google Research Designed a quick optimization process that asks Gemini to transform the text into somewhat easier to understand behind the scenes and are activated when you press the Simplify button.
The Simplify button does not completely change your life or redefine how to engage with content online, but it can cut down on the need for new tabs or at least remove the need to copy and paste opaque text into Gemini or Chatgpt every time you run up to a linguistic road block.
Simple AI
According to the developers of the simplic tool, the AI translation not only made close content easier to analyze, but it also helped them remember what they were reading. It’s of a piece with other AI tools that are rolled out of Google to streamline boring or annoying bits of people’s experiences online.
It matches nicely with features like Google Gemini Widgets or the expected Power Up button to improve your prompt. The simplic feature also falls during the AI improvement of the browsing experience that Google has implemented (with occasional pratfalls), as well as searching search generative experience and AI searches for searching. Simplifying, however, feels more directly beaten to individuals as you have to choose to use it.
For the time being, it is simplifying only iOS and it will not be perfect every time. Like any AI tool, it may make a mistake or opposite its answer and lose some of the shade found in the original text. However, it is a trade -off that is common to any translation. It can also be a trade -off that most users will be happy to do, especially when the alternative is drowning in multisyllabic nonsense about protocols with blockchain management.
