Understand example library

Public-domain texts, retold for listening.

This is the SEO and product-proof footprint: useful public pages built from real source texts, not tiny demo snippets. Each example should show the original, the Understand version, what changed, what stayed close, and audio you can play.

NextClassic literature

Why it matters: Should test archaic syntax, poetry/drama, and trust around modernization.
Queued on the Kanban board
NextPhilosophy or old/sacred text

Plato or Genesis as difficult-text audio

A stronger trust test: dense argument or familiar old language with comparison requirements.
