Overview
Explainly is your smart reading companion. Select any word, phrase, or sentence on any webpage and get an instant explanation that understands context — not just dictionary definitions.
Instead of telling you "dreary = dull and bleak," Explainly tells you what the author meant in that specific sentence. It reads like a smart friend who just finished the same paragraph.
── WHAT IT DOES ──
- Context-aware meaning — explains what the selected text means in this passage, not in general
- Tone detection — identifies the emotional or stylistic tone (formal, sarcastic, tense, hopeful)
- Simpler version — rewrites complex sentences in plain, modern language
- Three depth modes — ELI5 for simple explanations, Normal for everyday reading, Deep for literary analysis
- Adaptive theme — popup automatically matches light or dark websites
── WHO IT'S FOR ──
- Students preparing for competitive exams (UPSC, GRE, IELTS, CAT)
- Non-native English readers
- Avid readers tackling dense non-fiction, academic papers, or classic literature
- Anyone who reads on the web daily and wants to understand more, faster
