## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## ✨AI Rewording & Sentence Simplifier Tool - $5/1k requests

✅ Simplify difficult English sentences, paragraphs, and documents. ✅ Adjustable difficulty levels (Easiest to Hardest). ✅ Flexible display modes (Reword, definitions dictionary, or inline brackets).

---

#### 🚀 What this actor does

This Actor allows you to simplify complex, academic, or jargon-heavy English texts. It helps teachers, ESL students, content writers, and developers convert difficult reading material into clear, accessible prose.

Our engine parses grammar, structure, and vocabulary to replace high-level wording with easy-to-understand synonyms, while maintaining structural formatting and semantic intent.

---

#### 🧭 Quick start (UI)

1. Open the Actor on the Apify Console.
2. Enter the **📝 Text to Simplify**.
3. Choose the **🎭 Presentation Mode** dropdown (`reword`, `definitions`, or `inline`).
4. Select the **📊 Difficulty Level** (from `easiest` to `hardest`).
5. Click **Run**.
6. When finished, download results from the **Dataset** tab.

---

#### 🧩 Input schema (fields you can use)

* **text** *(string, required)* — The difficult English text you want to simplify.
* **mode** *(string, default: "reword")* — Renders the text:
  * `reword`: replaces hard words with definitions.
  * `definitions`: keeps original words, returns definitions dictionary.
  * `inline`: outputs original words with definitions in brackets.
* **level** *(string, default: "level1")* — The difficulty level thresholds (`easiest`, `level1`, `level2`, `level3`, `level4`, `hardest`).

---

#### 📤 Output schema (what you get)

Results are written to the run's **Dataset** in this format:

```json
{
  "original_text": "His elder daughter's nephritis was comorbid with chronic hypertension.",
  "output_text": "His older daughter's kidney disease was (a disease that happens along with) long-lasting high blood pressure.",
  "mode": "reword",
  "level": "level1",
  "definitions": {
    "elder daughter": "older daughter",
    "nephritis": "kidney disease",
    "comorbid with": "(a disease that happens along with)",
    "chronic": "long-lasting",
    "hypertension": "high blood pressure"
  },
  "stats": {
    "sentence_count": 1,
    "word_count_original": 9,
    "word_count_processed": 14,
    "syllables_original": 19,
    "chars_no_spaces": 60,
    "chars_with_spaces": 68,
    "lexical_density": "88.9%",

  }
}

***

#### ✅ Best practices

- **Combine with other APIs:** Use in tandem with translators or proofreaders to simplify language processing workflows.
- **Select appropriate levels:** Start with `level1` (default) and adjust down to `easiest` if the output is still too complex, or up to `hardest` to preserve more technical vocabulary.

***

#### 💵 Pricing & limits

- **From $5.00 / 1,000 requests** (pay-per-event price is $0.005 per successful run).

***

#### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

**Q1: What languages does the Actor support?**
A1: The Actor is optimized specifically for English text to assist with reading comprehension, ESL learning, and vocabulary building.

**Q2: Will the rewritten text preserve paragraphs and spacing?**
A2: Yes, the parser preserves paragraphs, list layouts, and punctuation, focusing solely on rephrasing targeted vocabulary and phrases.

**Q3: Can I get definitions for difficult words without changing the text?**
A3: Yes! By setting `mode` to `definitions`, the output text remains unchanged, and you receive a clean JSON dictionary mapping the identified difficult words to their simpler explanations.
