Rewrite jargon in plain English
Turns technical, legal or corporate text into plain English for a specific reader, and flags anything that could not be simplified safely.
Rewrite the text below in plain English for {{READER}}.
Guidelines:
- Short sentences, mostly under 20 words.
- Everyday words. If a technical term must stay, explain it in brackets the first time.
- Active voice. Say who does what.
- Keep every obligation, number, date and condition. Do not soften rules.
Text:
{{TEXT}}
After the rewrite, add a short list called "Kept as is" with any terms you could not replace without changing the meaning.Example output
Plain version: You can cancel any time. If you cancel in the first 14 days, you get all your money back. Kept as is: "pro rata" (needed for the refund rule; explained in brackets).
How to use
Describe the reader concretely, such as "a customer who is reading this on their phone" or "a new hire in their first week". Always compare the rewrite with the original for anything legal or medical.
Why it works
This is a zero-shot prompt: no examples, just clear rules, because plain-language rules are well known and easy to state. The "Kept as is" list stops the model from quietly changing meaning to make a sentence simpler.
