- Google’s new Simplify tool for iOS explains the dense and confusing text on the web
- Simplify uses Gemini AI to translate text into a simple and readable language without leaving the page
- Users can highlight the confusing content and press the “simplify” button to disentangle the jargon
Reading an article on a technical or particularly complex subject sometimes gives the impression of navigating a labyrinth rather than following a story. The Google iOS application has a new solution if you are meeting a scientific article or an article written by someone a little too like being obtuse. The new Simplify feature for the Google mobile application rewrites any internet text filled with jargon in a language that does not require a specialized dictionary and without leaving the application.
To use Simplify, you will need to browse the web from the Google app. When you press an unnecessarily complicated text wall, you can highlight it, and a small simplify button will appear. Type on the button will be found which has highlighted the paragraph in something much more understandable for the average person.
Simplify is essentially a shortcut for Gemini Ai from Google. Google Research has designed a rapid optimization process that asks Gemini to transform text into something easier to understand behind the scenes, activating when you press the Simplify button.
The Simplify button will not completely change your life or will not redefine how you engage with online content, but it could reduce the need for new tabs or at least delete the need to copy and stick opaque text in Gemini or Chatpt each time you make up for a road dam.
AI SIMPLE
According to the developers of the Simplify tool, the translation of AI not only made the content dense easier to analyze, but it also helped them to remember what they read. This is a piece with other AI tools deployed by Google to rationalize the pieces of tedious or boring experiences online.
It corresponds perfectly to features such as Google Gemini Widgets or the power button provided to improve your prompts. Simplify functionality is also improving the AI of the navigation experience Google has deployed (with occasional falls), such as the generative research experience and the IA previews for research. Simplify feels more directly in individuals, as you should choose to use it.
For the moment, Simplify is only iOS, and it will not be perfect every time. Like any AI tool, it could make an error or simplify excess and lose part of the shades found in the original text. However, this is a compromise common to any translation. It can also be a compromise that most users will be happy to do, especially when the alternative drowns in multisyllabic absurdities on blockchain governance protocols.
