What this tool does
The Jargon Buster takes confusing corporate emails, technical documentation, legal text, or any writing stuffed with buzzwords and translates it into clear, simple language that anyone can understand. Powered by AI, it rewrites the entire passage in plain English while preserving the original meaning.
Beyond the full translation, the tool identifies every jargon term it finds and provides a glossary explaining what each one actually means. It also rates the readability of the original text versus the translated version, so you can see exactly how much clearer the output is.
Whether you received a corporate memo full of "synergies" and "action items," a technical spec loaded with acronyms, or a legal document drowning in legalese, this tool cuts through the noise and gives you the real message.
How it works
The Jargon Buster uses AI language analysis to process your text in three steps:
**Step 1: Identify jargon.** The AI scans your text and flags every corporate buzzword, technical term, acronym, and unnecessarily complicated phrase.
**Step 2: Translate to plain language.** The full text is rewritten using simple, everyday words. The meaning stays the same — only the complexity is removed.
**Step 3: Build a glossary.** Each jargon term gets a plain-English definition, so you learn what those terms actually mean for future reference.
The tool also provides readability ratings before and after translation, giving you a clear picture of how much the text improved.

FAQs
Q: What types of jargon can this tool handle? A: The Jargon Buster handles corporate buzzwords, technical terminology, legal language, medical jargon, financial terms, academic writing, government speak, and marketing fluff. If the text uses unnecessarily complicated language, this tool can simplify it.
Q: Does the translation change the meaning of my text? A: No. The AI preserves the original meaning while removing unnecessary complexity. The goal is clarity, not alteration. However, you should always review the output to confirm it matches your intent, especially for sensitive or technical content.
Q: How long can the input text be? A: The tool works best with passages up to about 1,000 words. For longer documents, try processing them in sections for the most accurate results.
Q: Is my text stored or shared? A: Text is sent to an AI service for processing but is not stored permanently. No text is shared with third parties or used for training purposes.
Q: Can I use this for legal or medical documents? A: You can use the tool to get a general understanding of legal or medical language, but translations should not replace professional legal or medical advice. Always consult a qualified professional for important decisions.
Q: Why does the readability rating matter? A: The readability rating shows you how accessible the text is before and after translation. A shift from "Expert" or "Corporate" to "Simple" or "Conversational" means the text went from being understandable only by specialists to being clear for a general audience.
