Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Dan, the maker of VERIDIC. VERIDIC started from a simple frustration: the documents that matter most are often the hardest to read. Workplace policies, technical specs, official notices, terms of service, offer letters, forms. They're written in a way that makes the important parts easy to miss, and most of us just scroll to the bottom and click "I agree". VERIDIC is a Chrome extension that puts that kind of writing into plain English: ✍️ Highlight any passage and click "Read in plain words". You get what it says, why it's worded that way, the terms it uses, and any dates in it. 📄 Read a whole page at once. It picks out the parts worth reading twice, and one click jumps you to each one on the page. 💼 Check a job offer. It lists what the letter says about pay, probation, notice, and restrictions, and what it doesn't mention at all. 📅 Keep track of the dates your documents set, with an optional weekly digest. 🔔 Watch terms you've agreed to, and find out when the wording changes. 🔀 Compare two versions of a document and see exactly what changed. A few things I cared about while building it: • It always quotes the original wording, so you can check it yourself instead of trusting a summary. • It never guesses a date. If a document says "30 days before renewal" and doesn't say when renewal is, it asks you. • It doesn't give advice or tell you whether to sign. It explains what the document says, and that's all. • PDFs and Word files are opened in your browser, never uploaded. Where Chrome's built-in AI is available, nothing leaves your computer at all. • It works in 16 languages, and quoted wording stays in the original. It's free to use: 5 reads a day, no account needed. Deadlines, the digest, compare and watching are always free. If you need more reads, there are passes that you pay for once and that simply end. There's no subscription. I'd love to hear from you: 👉 What's the most confusing document you've had to deal with recently? 👉 What should VERIDIC read better? I'll be here all day answering questions. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
