Read simple
Research shows that 30 percent of the Dutch population finds government letters too difficult to understand. The app Lees Simpel (Simply Read it) helps you read these letters using artificial intelligence (AI). Take a picture of your letter, and the app summarises the content in understandable language. Try it for yourself! The app is free to download on iPhone and Android.

The creators of the app have a broader mission: they want to inspire government agencies to write in simpler language. In fact, they even hope that the app will soon no longer be needed.
Read Simple is supported in part by Stichting SIDN Fonds.
