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
