About Newscade

What this is, and how it's built to be read.

What it does

Paste in a headline or a paragraph from any news site and Newscade breaks it down in plain English. No jargon left unexplained, no background knowledge assumed that you don't actually have.

Read in order

The default mode builds every explanation from the ground up: each term is defined before it's used, so you can read straight through top to bottom without ever stopping to look something up elsewhere.

Accuracy

Explanations are AI-generated. The tool is built to admit uncertainty rather than guess, and to flag when a story may be more recent than its knowledge allows. Always double-check anything important before relying on it.

Your data
