We present a rule based automatic text simplification tool for Swedish. The tool is designed to facilitate experimentation with various simplification techniques. The architecture of the tool is inspired by and partly built on a previous text simplification tool for Swedish, CogFLUX. New functionality, new operation types, and new simplification operations were added.
