Social venture EQ4All and social enterprise Sosohan Sotong are launching Ongeul, an AI-powered service that converts complex sentences into clear, easy-to-understand text.
The two organizations said they will unveil the service on the 21st in observance of Global Accessibility Awareness Day and will hold an online briefing for officials from public agencies and corporate representatives.
Ongeul uses AI to transform complicated sentences into simpler, more accessible language.
Designed so users don’t need to craft complex prompts, the system lets anyone paste text and receive a simplified version. It is intended for use in public notices, policy materials, corporate manuals, and customer communications where clear information delivery is essential.
The service was developed by converting Sosohan Sotong’s accumulated experience and easy-information standards into data and combining that with EQ4All’s AI technology and SaaS operational expertise.
Delivered as a web-based SaaS, organizations can adopt the service without building separate systems.
Ongeul also supports organization-specific customization. It helps build RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) datasets using each institution’s policy documents, manuals, and internal materials.
This enables the service to reflect an organization’s preferred terminology and phrasing when producing simplified text.
A professional review option is another key feature. Clients can request additional checks by easy-information specialists and actual information users, including people with developmental disabilities, to validate AI-generated output.
The goal is to combine the efficiency of automated conversion with the reliability of human review.
The online briefing will be held on the 21st at 10 a.m. via Zoom.
Presenters will cover Ongeul’s development background, core features, a live demonstration, implementation options for institutions, and pricing. The first 50 pre-registrants will receive a free-trial coupon for roughly 5,000 characters of conversion.
Lee In-gu, CEO of EQ4All, said, “Public agencies and companies are producing information at a rapid pace, but the number of people who can actually understand and use that information remains limited. Ongeul uses AI to reduce the time and cost of producing easy-to-understand content and helps more organizations adopt information accessibility as a standard practice.”
He added, “Through our collaboration with Sosohan Sotong, we will build a new accessibility service model that combines AI efficiency with expert know-how.”
The two companies said they plan to use this launch to expand real-world applications and collect operational data to continuously improve Ongeul.
