Translate Technical Jargon Into Plain English
You are reading a paper or manual clearly written for people who already know the subject, and you are not one of them yet. This rewrites it in plain English, flags anything simplified so you know what to check later, and keeps the same order as the original. Good for students new to a subject's own language.
