SUMM

Our mission: Fostering inclusion by accelerating easy language adoption – making information universally accessible to everyone independent of cognitive abilities, education or linguistic proficiency. Picture this: You probably look at stairs and recognize them as a convenient way to get to an elevated place. A physically impaired person, on the other hand, sees a huge barrier! And you probably read the news or company websites and get information out of them – but just as the stairs, their complexity can be a barrier – this time, a barrier to information. For mentally handicapped, elderly or sick people, people with learning difficulties, or learners of a new language, a complex text can completely exclude them from information, because they simply can’t understand it. And with an ever increasing amount of information provided online, it is crucial to make it accessible to everyone. In Germany, over 10 million people rely on information being available in easy language – a style of language with simpler sentence structure and additional explanations. We are building the first AI-powered tool that automatically turns any text into easy language, fostering inclusion and breaking down information barriers at supersonic speed! We enable a variety of improvements: - We provide companies with an easy and convenient tool to communicate with customers in simple, understandable terms, e.g. for customer service, product descriptions, or terms of use - We support the public sector to comply with the barrier-free information technology (BITV) law by providing a tool to enable fast translation of new content - Translation agencies can increase their productivity by over 85% with our tool proposing a first translation they can build upon The material contained herein is for viewing purposes only.
