ELI5: Explain Any Text

ELI5 is an AI text explainer that works inside any app. Highlight any text on your phone and understand it instantly, without switching apps.

Stuck on a lease clause, a medical term, a bank notice or a word you have never seen? Select it, tap Explain with ELI5, and get a simple, plain English explanation right on your screen. You can also proofread and translate your own messages in one tap.

ELI5 plugs into Android's native text selection menu, the same one that shows Copy and Paste. It works on any word, sentence or paragraph in Chrome, WhatsApp, Gmail, X (Twitter), PDF readers, or any app that lets you highlight text.

HOW TO EXPLAIN TEXT IN ANY APP
1. Highlight text
2. Tap More in the selection toolbar
3. Tap Explain with ELI5 or Proofread

A card slides up over your current app. Read it, close it, and you are exactly where you were.

3 AI EXPLANATION MODES
• ELI5: simple explanations with analogies. Great for jargon, legal language, medical terms and finance.
• Direct: the facts with no filler.
• Detailed: full context, examples and nuance for when you really want to understand something.

AI PROOFREADER AND TRANSLATOR
Highlight text you have typed, tap Proofread, and a corrected version appears above your keyboard. Fix grammar and wording, make it formal or urgent, or translate it before accepting. Accept replaces your text instantly. In read-only apps, Accept becomes Copy automatically.

SIMPLIFY CONFUSING TEXT
• Lease agreements and contracts
• Bank and insurance notices
• Medical reports and prescriptions
• Textbooks and research papers
• Technical articles and documentation
• Unfamiliar words and slang

WORKS ACROSS YOUR ENTIRE PHONE
Chrome, Firefox, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Gmail, Outlook, X (Twitter), Instagram, Reddit, Slack, Teams, Discord, PDF readers, ebook apps, and any other app that supports text selection.

PRIVACY
ELI5 only activates when you tap Explain or Proofread. It does not monitor your screen or read your activity in the background. The display-over-apps permission is used only to show the explanation card.

GET STARTED
Install ELI5, grant the Display over other apps permission, open any app, highlight any text, and tap More in the selection toolbar.

Stop googling confusing words. Select text, tap Explain, and understand it.
