Spoken English at your level

You hear hard English. We say it simple. When the English is too hard, we say it in simpler words. When the English you hear gets too difficult, we restate it in simpler terms. When spoken English outpaces you, we recast it in plainer terms.

This is what Restate does. You just did it to this headline.

Restate listens along and says every sentence again at your level, in the speaker's own voice. Simpler words, same meaning, same language, a few seconds behind. English first, more languages on the way.

In short

How it works

Every sentence said again at your level, just a few seconds behind the speaker, with captions alongside. Switch the level mid-listen: easier, harder, or the original.

Who it's for

You can hold a conversation, but so much of the language still sits above your level: the podcast everyone quotes, the series you watch with subtitles, the lecture that loses you by minute two, the appointment where the clerk talks like a form. Restate keeps you listening: same episode, same voices, simpler words and sentences.

If the problem is another language entirely, Interpret Cloud is the live interpreter.
