capito is the market leader in the field of accessible information. We have been making the world a little easier to understand for 20 years. We are a network of language experts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Our shared vision: everyone should be able to understand written information.
The capito method 💪
capito has developed a method for simplifying information. We call this TÜV-certified method the "capito quality standard". We translate into three easy-to-understand language levels. Finally, representatives of the target group check whether the information is really understandable for them.
The capito criteria catalogue 📃
The criteria catalog is the basis for the simplification of information according to the capito method for the language levels A1, A2 and B1. All of these criteria relate to the content and form of information. This criteria catalog defines how texts must be in order to be understandable at the respective language level.
Language levels and target group 🧑 👨🦽 👩 👨🦯
Comprehensibility is not a text property. A text is always understandable for the person reading it. That's why we at capito never analyse a text on its own. We always consider the comprehensibility of a text in relation to the people for whom it is made: the target group. More information →
