Sentence Simplifier

In short Simplifying a sentence means shortening it, splitting it and replacing jargon with the ordinary word — and it works because sentence length is the strongest single driver of reading difficulty. A forty-word sentence with three subordinate clauses is hard regardless of vocabulary; the same content as three sentences is not. Splitting is therefore the first move, ahead of changing any words. Then replace the Latinate word with the plain one where they genuinely mean the same thing: use rather than utilise, about rather than approximately, help rather than facilitate. The limit is worth stating, because simplification can quietly change meaning. Technical terms are often precise rather than pretentious — "myocardial infarction" is not "heart attack" in every clinical context, and a legal term of art usually cannot be swapped for its everyday cousin without changing what a document commits you to. Simplify the sentence structure freely; replace a technical term only when you are sure the plain word carries the same meaning.
