3. 3Confirm that it may be sent to the AI service and start the conversion.

5. 5Copy the reviewed text into your CMS or save it in the plain-language area to edit and publish it.

Plain language makes content easier to understand for a broad audience: short sentences with one statement each, familiar words, active wording and an order that fits what readers need to do. Technical terms stay where they are needed and are briefly explained.

Easy-to-read language (German: Leichte Sprache) is something different. It follows its own, stricter rules, is aimed mainly at people with learning difficulties and goes together with testing by people from the target group. This tool does not produce easy-to-read language and does not replace that testing.

• Enter an approved source text, not a draft with open questions.
• Convert long pages section by section, for example per heading.
• Choose the audience: for people with learning difficulties, sentences become even shorter.
• Check figures, deadlines, costs, exceptions and contact details with particular care.
• Read the draft aloud. Whatever stumbles when read aloud is usually still too complicated.
• Test important texts with the people who will read them.

The AI can shift meanings, drop conditions or explain terms incorrectly. Treat the result as a draft and compare it sentence by sentence with the source text. Legally binding texts such as contracts, official notices or privacy notices also need a professional review. A simplified text does not certify accessibility or compliance with legal requirements.

Conversions are counted per account and calendar month, separately from the other AI features. An attempt where the AI service reports an error counts too. A text rejected before processing, for example because it is too long, does not count.

For the conversion, we send your text and the chosen language and audience to our AI service provider Anthropic (Claude). Accessonaut stores neither your text nor the draft; we only count how often your account has used the tool. Do not paste particularly sensitive or confidential data. Details are in the privacy policy.

In the plain-language area of your account you save drafts with a version history, confirm the editorial review and publish the reviewed version with a link or iframe.
