Don't take my word.
Watch.

Two everyday chores, done on this page while you look on. The words being typed are the whole trick. If you can send a text, you can do this.

01

The six-page benefits letter

Something changed about your coverage. It's in there, dressed in "notwithstanding." Take a photo of the pages, then type this.

You type, in your own words

>

What comes back, about four seconds later
  1. Your co-pay for specialist visits rises from $30 to $45 on September 1.
  2. Nothing else about your plan changes, and you don't need to do anything.
  3. If you call, ask whether your cardiologist counts as a specialist under the new schedule.

40 minutes of squinting, done in four. No magic words. You ask the way you'd ask a sharp clerk at a counter.

02

The recipe box

Fifty cards of your mother's cursive, waiting years to get typed up for the kids. Photograph them and ask for a clean copy. Drag the handle to see the same card, both ways.

Her card, 1974
Butter-milk biscuits
2 c. flour · 1 tsp soda
buttermilk till it "looks right"
bake hot & quick, 425°
(don't twist the cutter!!)
Typed for the family book

Buttermilk Biscuits

Mom's card · her notes kept

  • 2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda
  • Buttermilk until it "looks right"
  • Bake hot and quick at 425°

Her note in the margin: "don't twist the cutter!!"

It reads her cursive better than the grandkids do. The margin notes survive because you asked for them to. You can ask for things like that.

Same trick, other chores

JOB 03

The phone bill

Untangled, line by line, including the fee nobody at the phone company can explain either.

JOB 04

The email chain

Forty replies in, someone decided something. Get the decision without the archaeology.

JOB 05

The hard letter

A first draft to react to instead of a blank page to dread. You keep the final word.

JOB 06

The week of dinners

Planned around what's already in the refrigerator, with a shopping list for the gaps.

JOB 07

The large-print copy

Any document, reset in big plain type for a friend whose eyes deserve the courtesy.

Fine print, out loud

Where it gets things wrong

  • It states wrong things with a straight face. Dates, dollars, and doses get verified, same as you'd check a confident stranger.
  • Private stays private. Account numbers and other people's business stay off it. Sessions cover what's safe in practice.
  • Some first tries land flat. You rephrase, it lands. The knack is small and learnable.
The live version

Same demos, in person, your chore on the screen

Free 90-minute sessions, small groups, help at your elbow. First ones run at my church this fall; friends' kitchens and small businesses after that. No connection to any of it needed. Bring your own stack of paper, or just watch.

Run by Chris Howe, who would rather show you than tell you. This page was the telling; there isn't more of it.
