Simplish
Simplish uses an 850-word vocabulary based on C.K. Ogden's Basic English plus 100 specialized words to be selected and 50 international words for paraphrasing through fully rewriting text in simple English. It also includes 30,000 words to help process legal/scientific/technical material. This approach allows for infinite expressiveness using a fixed finite vocabulary.

TLDR: Summarize Anything
TLDR: Summarize Anything is a plugin to shorten long documents and aid in research. Often long documents are difficult to quickly skim over and catch the relevant parts. TLDR uses AI to automate this process, generating multiple lengths so you can get a summary, a 25% and a 50% view of the document. It also offers the full view in an easier to read layout.
