# Read only what’s worth reading.

ReadMini cuts the filler and repetition while keeping the ideas, evidence, and caveats that matter.

## The original article, minus what did not earn your time.

Paste 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.

## Why trust the number?

### Calculated, not guessed

ReadMini 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.

### Not a summary

You 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.

### Not an AI detector

ReadMini does not care who wrote it. AI style, em dashes and “AI phrases” do not affect the score.

### Checked twice

A second model checks for anything important that was lost, changed or invented, and for anything that could still go, before the score is calculated.

Writing something?

## Make your reader work less.

- What your reader could skip, and why
- What could be said in fewer or clearer words, with a suggested rewrite
- What belongs earlier, where the reader needs it

Drafts stay private. Revise and run it again to see how much reader time you saved.
