Turn a Financial Summary Into Plain English
You're holding a financial summary or statement and it may as well be in code. Paste it in and you get a plain-English read of what it's saying, working only from the figures actually there. Good for the account statement you skim and ignore, or the report extract you're meant to discuss but don't follow.
