Hi everyone, Amitay here, the founder of ExplainTXT 🙌 I created ExplainTXT because English isn’t my native language, and reading articles online was challenging for me. Copying and pasting text into translators or ChatGPT was messy and uncomfortable. I wanted a tool that could instantly explain tricky terms or summarize text based on my preferences, right on the spot—and that’s how ExplainTXT was born. I’d love to hear your feedback and thoughts. Thanks, Amitay
Congrats on the launch! A highly practical product! Perhaps adding AI-powered search functionality could make it even more powerful.

Thanks so much! AI is already included, could you pls share more about your vision?
For example, when you select some text, you could directly invoke AI search to query more detailed, structured information about the content, or even learn methods to study it effectively.

Gotcha! Thanks :)
Man that looks great! Especially for people whose English is a second language (like me too 🙃)

Thank you so much Anton!
Love it! Does it also work on PDFs? Scientist here 🤓
Congrats on the launch! Tried it to translate and explain a couple Korean news articles to English and seems useful! What is the difference between Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert? Is it granularity of explanation? Maybe a couple examples in your Get Started or the Settings tab would help so users know which one to choose.
