 The `remote` module provides a simple way to do inter-process communication
 (IPC) between the renderer process (web page) and the main process.
 
-In Electron, only GUI-unrelated modules are available in the renderer process.
-Without the `remote` module, users who want to call a main process API in
-the renderer process will have to explicitly send inter-process messages
-to the main process. With the `remote` module, you can invoke methods of the
-main process object without explicitly sending inter-process messages, similar
-to Java's [RMI](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_remote_method_invocation).
+In Electron, GUI-related modules (such as `dialog`, `menu` etc.) are only available in the main process, not in the renderer process. In order to use them from the renderer process, the `ipc` module is necessary to send inter-process messages to the main process. With the `remote` module, you can invoke methods of the main process object without explicitly sending inter-process messages, similar to Java's [RMI](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_remote_method_invocation).
