iPhone
Scan any confusing lease, bill, or letter and get the plain-English gist, the one buried catch, and a ready-to-send reply.
Plainspeak decodes confusing paperwork in about two seconds.
Point your camera at any document you don't fully understand - a lease, a medical bill, an insurance letter, a contractor quote - and Plainspeak gives you the plain-English gist, the one catch buried in the fine print, the key facts and deadlines, and a ready-to-send reply.
HOW IT WORKS
- Scan a document (multi-page supported). Text is read on your device.
- Plainspeak explains what it actually says, flags THE catch, and pulls out amounts and dates.
- Get a drafted reply you can copy and send - dispute a charge, request itemization, decline a renewal.
YOUR VAULT
Every decoded document is saved and fully searchable, grouped by type - Lease, Medical, Insurance, Bills.
ASK YOUR DOCUMENTS
Ask "What's my deductible?" or "Can my landlord raise rent mid-lease?" and get an answer with a citation back to the exact page you scanned.
DEADLINES
Every response-by date, renewal, and due date becomes a tracked deadline so a 14-day window never silently expires.
FREE TO USE
Decode up to 5 documents a month with the full result card, unlimited saving and search, and deadline tracking - free.
