You may also find yourself parsing longer e-mails (rather than printing
them out!), or your own text documents: some students, teachers, and writers
have found it useful for proofing their own writing for syntactical and
spelling errors. ClipRead dramatically improves out loud reading fluency, so
it is particularly suited for speeches and presentations.

What is our privacy policy?
When you submit text to our parsing service, we will not make a copy
of it: the software will analyze the text and send it directly back to you
without any human reading or involvement. Therefore, you must bear responsibility
for the texts that you submit or transform with this technology. You are also
responsible for saving up-to-date copies of any other documents that are open
on your computer while you use the software. You need to obey copyright laws, and
should not submit text for which you do not have copyright permission. The parsed
text formatting of the text is itself a copyrightable derivative of the original
text. This derivative version is only to be used for your own reading or for the
educational activities of students; it is not to be published or sold.
What comes with a ClipRead subscription?
When you subscribe for a ClipRead account, you receive a user name and password
which enables you to access our parsing engines 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year. You will receive regular updates as we continue to improve our
service. You will be able to e-mail or call us and receive technical
assistance, as needed, within one business day (or faster!).
How do I get started using my ClipRead account?
Once you have subscribed, we will provide you with a link to our download
site, a user name and password. We suggest you:

What kind of text can I submit for parsing?
Any text you can save to your Clipboard can be submitted for parsing. On the
Web, popular choices include newspapers and magazines (like www.nytimes.com,
www.slate.com), document libraries (like the Library of Congress, www.loc.gov),
public domain literature sites, and the like. Sites which offer a "printer
friendly format" are particularly suited for ClipRead. Since you cannot copy
Java files or .pdf files to your Clipboard, they cannot be parsed.

What does the reformatted text look like when it is returned from the parser?
When in the Course of human events, it
becomes necessary for one people to
dissolve the political bands which have
connected them with another, and to assume
among the powers of the earth, the separate
and equal station to which the Laws of
Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a
decent respect to the opinions of mankind
requires that they should declare the causes
which impel them to the separation.
