The tool decides passage by passage what a reader needs, uses a second model to check for anything important that was lost, changed or invented, and states that AI writing style, em dashes and \"AI phrases\" do not affect its score. ReadMini also offers a drafting mode that flags what a reader could skip, suggests clearer rewrites, and notes what belongs earlier, with drafts kept private.", "body_md": "# Read only what’s worth reading.\n\nReadMini cuts the filler and repetition while keeping the ideas, evidence, and caveats that matter.\n\n[See how it works](#how)\n\n## The original article, minus what did not earn your time.\n\nPaste a link. ReadMini keeps every claim, number, caveat and piece of evidence that matters, drops the rest, and tells you how much reading that saves.\n\n## Why trust the number?\n\n### Calculated, not guessed\n\nReadMini decides passage by passage what the reader needs, then counts. The percentage is the reading that could go without losing a claim, number, caveat or piece of evidence that matters.\n\n### Not a summary\n\nYou read the original article, in the author’s words and order, with its headings, code, tables and figures. Only what did not earn your time is gone.\n\n### Not an AI detector\n\nReadMini does not care who wrote it. AI style, em dashes and “AI phrases” do not affect the score.\n\n### Checked twice\n\nA second model checks for anything important that was lost, changed or invented, and for anything that could still go, before the score is calculated.\n\nWriting something?\n\n## Make your reader work less.\n\n- What your reader could skip, and why\n- What could be said in fewer or clearer words, with a suggested rewrite\n- What belongs earlier, where the reader needs it\n\nDrafts stay private.
