WordrobeRead any article at your level.
Wordrobe is a free browser extension that rewrites the text on a web page into plain words or polished prose, translates it into 20 languages, and summarizes long articles. You choose the sites. It never touches the rest.
Free to use. Works in the United States for now. Questions? support@wordrobe.app
The same sentence, three ways
An example written to show the idea. Real rewrites depend on the page and can differ.
Original
The committee's deliberations were protracted owing to the multiplicity of stakeholder interests that had to be reconciled before any resolution could be adopted.
Simple
The committee took a long time to decide. Many groups wanted different things, and they had to agree before anything could pass.
Scholar
The committee's discussions ran long because the competing interests of many stakeholders had to be reconciled before a resolution could be adopted.
How it works
Turn it on for a site
Wordrobe does nothing anywhere until you switch it on for a site. Your browser asks you to approve that one site.
Pick a level
Simple uses everyday words. Scholar gives precise, polished writing. Add a language if you want it translated too.
Read, or switch back
The article text is rewritten in place. One click, or Alt+Shift+W, brings back the original.
What you get
Everything is free to use.
Two reading levels
Simple and Scholar, whichever suits the page and the reader.
20 languages
Rewrite and translate in one step: Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Arabic, French, Korean, Portuguese, Hindi, Russian, Haitian Creole, Urdu, Bengali, German, Japanese, Italian, Polish, Persian and Swahili.
Article summaries
A short paragraph or key points, with a Copy button.
The round W
A small floating button on the page. Change the level or language, summarize, read aloud, or show the original from its card. Drag it anywhere.
Read aloud
Listen with the current sentence highlighted, headline first. It asks where to start if you are partway down the page, and remembers where you stopped. Pause, play and skip by paragraph from a small player or with Alt+Shift+R. Private voices on your device by default, or optional natural-sounding online voices.
Reading comfort
Larger text, wider spacing, an easy-to-read font, soft background colors, a reading ruler, and a focus aid that bolds the start of each word or dims the other paragraphs.
Keep what you read
Copy the article text or save it as a .txt file, and remember a level and language for each site. Optionally, double-click a word to see what it means in its sentence.
Privacy, in plain words
To rewrite text, Wordrobe has to send it somewhere. Here is exactly where.
- You choose the sites. Nothing is sent from a site you have not turned Wordrobe on for.
- Two companies handle the text: Cloudflare runs Wordrobe's server, and Anthropic runs the AI that does the rewriting. Anthropic says it does not train its models on this text and deletes it from its systems within 30 days.
- Read aloud stays on your device unless you choose the optional natural online voices, which send the text being read to your browser's speech service.
- Word meanings is optional and off by default. If you turn it on, double-clicking a word sends that one word and its sentence the same way.
- Wordrobe's server does not save the text. It keeps only a small daily count per internet address so no one person uses up everyone's share.
- No accounts, no ads, no analytics. This website does not use cookies or tracking scripts.
- It stays away from sensitive and paid pages: banking, health, email, government, sign-in, checkout, paywalls and subscription sites.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. Wordrobe is free to use. Because the AI behind it costs real money, there is a fair daily limit per person so everyone gets a share.
Can it be wrong?
Yes. The rewriting is done by AI and can make mistakes or shift the meaning. Check the original for anything important, such as medical, legal or money information. Translation is weaker for less common languages like Haitian Creole, Swahili and Bengali.
Why doesn't it work on some sites?
On purpose. Wordrobe stays off banking, health, email, government, sign-in and checkout pages, and off paywalled or subscription content. It also never removes a site's pop-ups or turns copying back on, so if a site blocks selecting text, that stays blocked.
Where does it work?
In Chrome and Microsoft Edge, from the United States for now. It is coming soon to both stores.
Is it for children?
Wordrobe is meant for people 13 and older. Parents and teachers can use it to help children read, and should choose the sites. Wordrobe has no accounts and does not ask for a name, email or birth date.
