Plain language checking, explained

What PlainSight checks, how its safeguards work and where human review still matters.

What is a plain language checker?

A plain language checker, sometimes called a plain English checker, helps identify wording and structures that may make content difficult to understand. PlainSight assesses these barriers for the intended audience and suggests clearer alternatives where it can verify a safe change.

How is PlainSight different from a readability checker?

A readability checker usually focuses on sentence and word patterns. PlainSight includes Flesch Reading Ease, then also considers audience fit, understanding, structure and actionability. This makes it a broader content clarity checker rather than a readability score alone.

Does PlainSight rewrite my entire document?

No. PlainSight highlights individual findings in your content. You decide whether to accept each recommendation or keep the original wording, and the Clarity Score updates as you work.

Can PlainSight simplify writing without changing its meaning?

PlainSight identifies potentially important wording, protects it by default and checks proposed changes before showing them as verified alternatives. These safeguards help protect meaning and reduce risk, but no automated tool can guarantee that meaning is preserved. Human review remains important for consequential content.

What kinds of content can I check?

You can paste or write up to 5,000 words, or upload a PDF, DOCX, TXT or Markdown file up to 3 MB. PlainSight can assess instructions, policies, customer information, workplace content, educational material and other writing intended to help people understand or act.

Is PlainSight designed for New Zealand and Australian English?

Yes. PlainSight currently uses New Zealand and Australian English conventions and draws on public plain-language guidance from both countries. It also uses established readability measures and accessibility guidance from W3C.
