The problem we're solving Millions of people face a hidden access barrier: they can read the words in front of them, but they can't understand what those words mean for their lives. Medical bills, insurance notices, lease agreements, and government letters are written in dense legal and administrative language — full of terms like "grace period," "reinstatement provisions," and "arrears" — that assume a reading level, vocabulary, and fluency in English that not everyone has. This isn't a small inconvenience. Missing a deadline buried in legal phrasing can mean losing health coverage, facing eviction, or missing out on a benefit you're entitled to. The people most affected — non-native English speakers, people with limited formal education, older adults unfamiliar with legal jargon, people with cognitive or learning disabilities — are often the same people with the least access to a lawyer, translator, or advocate who could explain it to them. Why it matters Access to information is only real access if the information is actually understandable. A form you can't parse is functionally the same as a form you never received. ClearDoc treats "plain language" as an accessibility feature, not a nice-to-have — the same way captions or screen readers are. How our solution works Paste the document. Any confusing text — a bill, a notice, a clause from a lease — goes into the input panel. Choose your reading level and language. Pick from three reading levels (5th grade, 8th grade, high school) and one of 12 languages. Get a plain-language rewrite. ClearDoc calls Claude to rewrite the document faithfully — preserving every date, dollar amount, and deadline — in clear, direct language at the chosen level and in the chosen language. See the terms that matter. ClearDoc pulls out up to 5 key terms (deadlines, fees, legal terms) and explains each one in a single plain sentence, so the highest-stakes parts of the document are impossible to miss. The result is stamped "Plain Language ✓" — a small visual cue that this version has been verified as translated, so users can trust what they're looking at is the simplified version, not the original. Technologies Used React Claude API (Claude Sonnet) for document simplification, translation, and key-term extraction JSON-structured LLM output for reliable parsing of rewritten text + key terms CSS (custom design system, no UI framework)
