Translate to Human

Translate to Human is a small Chrome extension built for people who are tired of scrolling through LinkedIn and wading through corporate jargon. It reads a post on the page and asks a language model to restate the same idea without the padding, so the hidden pitch, humblebrag or vague announcement becomes something you can actually parse in a couple of seconds.

The extension takes a deliberately simple, bring-your-own-key approach. After installing it from the Chrome Web Store you enable it on LinkedIn, paste in an OpenAI API key, and a 'translate to human' button appears alongside posts. Clicking it sends the text to the model you configured and returns a plain-spoken version in place. Because the key is yours, usage costs are billed directly by OpenAI rather than by the extension developer.

It is published by Queen of Swords, an independent studio, and is positioned as a fun utility rather than a serious productivity suite. The most recent listing update dates from August 2024 and the install base is small, so treat it as a niche novelty tool that does one job well.
