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.

@zhiqi_shi Thanks so much! AI is already included, could you pls share more about your vision?
Zhiqi Shi
@amitay_cohen 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.
