LearnFast Extension

Learn Fast makes learning hard things easy!
Speed up your learning by simplifying text in 3 easy steps.
1 Highlight text you want simplified and the \"Learn Fast\" menu button appears in bottom right of your browser
2 Click the menu button to open it
3 Click the \"simplify\" button and in seconds your text comes back with all of the meaning and none of the big scientific terms, complex technical language, PHD level terminology

Here are some samples:

🩺 Medical-
Original text: \"Ionizing radiation is not a particularly strong mutagen. Residential exposure to radon gas, for example, has similar cancer risks as passive smoking. Radiation is a more potent source of cancer when combined with other cancer-causing agents\"

Simplified text: \"Radiation can cause mutations, but it is not very strong at doing so. For example, being exposed to radon gas at home can give you a similar risk of getting cancer as being around someone else who is smoking. Radiation is more likely to cause cancer if someone is also exposed to other things that can cause cancer.\"

🤖 Technical-
Original text: \"GPT models are artificial neural networks that are based on the transformer architecture, pre-trained on large datasets of unlabeled text, and able to generate novel human-like text.\"

Simplified text: \"GPT models are like computer brains that learn how to write by reading lots of text. They use a special structure, called a transformer, and don't need to be told what to write. They can come up with new sentences that sound like they were written by a person.\"

📘 Math-
Original text: \"In mathematics, the derivative of a function of a real variable measures the sensitivity to change of the function value (output value) with respect to a change in its argument (input value). Derivatives are a fundamental tool of calculus. For example, the derivative of the position of a moving object with respect to time is the object's velocity: this measures how quickly the position of the object changes when time advances.\"

Simplified text: \"The derivative in math measures how much a function's output value changes when the input value changes. It's a basic part of calculus. Here's an example: If you know the position of a moving object at different times, you can find its velocity by taking the derivative of its position function with respect to time. This tells you how fast the position is changing over time.\"

Okay Cozy (ID: 000000e0ba4f48ee) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/08/2023 Helped me understand a few articles that had very advanced concepts that I didn't understand. A super quick way to research specific sentences and overall ideas!

Leo Maggio (ID: 000000f264023b9b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/15/2023 I came across this extension, looked like a cool idea, so I installed it and gave it a shot. Now I use it often, it's such a cool button right there to help me break things down. It's great to get a rewording of things when coming across a difficult to understand article or paragraph. It works great and definitely a tool I'll continue to utilize!

Dalvida Palmer (ID: 0000009497158a5f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/12/2023 Using ChatGPT to break down ideas has helped me a ton, so it's VERY cool that this extension takes away the extra steps of opening a new tab, logging into ChatGPT, and waiting for everything to load. The button lives at the bottom corner of the screen which makes it quick and accessible for use, but discreet enough to not get in my way or distract me when I don't need it. What a cool way to use AI technology to help with an everyday problem!!
