- The new Google simplification tool for iOS explains a dense and confusing text on the web
- Simplify use gemini ai to translate the text into simple and legible language without leaving the page
- Users can highlight confusing content and touch the “Simplify” button to unravel jargon
Reading an article on a technical or particularly complex topic sometimes feels like navigating a maze instead of following a narrative. Google’s iOS application has a new solution if you find a scientific article or an article written by someone too fond of being obtuse. The new simplifying function for Google’s mobile application rewrites any Internet text full of jargon in a language that does not require a specialized dictionary and without leaving the application.
To use Simplify, you must navigate the web from the Google application. When pressing an unnecessarily complicated text wall, it can highlight it and a small simplification button will appear. When touching the button, the paragraph will stand out again in something much more understandable for the average person.
Simplify is essentially a shortcut for the Gemini of Google. Google Research designed a warning optimization process that asks Gemini to transform the text into something easier to understand behind the scene, activating when you play the Simplify button.
The Simplify button will not completely change your life or redefine how it relates to online content, but it could reduce the need for new eyelashes or at least eliminate the need to copy and paste the opaque text in Gemini or Chatgpt every time it runs against a linguistic obstacle.
The simple
According to the developers of the Simplify tool, the translation of AI not only made dense content easier to analyze, but also helped them remember what they read. It is one piece with other tools launched by Google to rationalize the tedious or annoying of the experiences of online people.
It perfectly coincides with characteristics such as Google Gemini Widgets or the early button to improve its indications. The Simplify characteristic is also under the improvement of the AI of the navigation experience that Google has implemented (with occasional falls), such as the generative search experience and the descriptions of AI for the search. However, simplifying feels more directly launched to people, since you must choose to use it.
For now, Simplify is only iOS, and it won’t be perfect every time. Like any AI tool, you can make a mistake or simplify your answer too much and lose some of the nuances found in the original text. However, that is a common compensation to any translation. It can also be compensation that most users will be happy to do, especially when the alternative drowns in multisilabic nonsense about Blockchain governance protocols.
