Text Readability Checker

Readability is a measure of how easy a piece of text is to understand. It's determined by factors like sentence length, word length (syllables), and the familiarity of the vocabulary used.

Higher readability means your content is more accessible to a wider audience. This tool uses common formulas to estimate the reading ease and grade level required to comprehend your text.

Common formulas include:

• Flesch Reading Ease: Scores range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate easier readability. A score of 60-70 is considered plain English, easily understood by 13- to 15-year-old students.
• Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: Translates the Flesch Reading Ease score into a U.S. school grade level. For example, a score of 8.0 means an eighth-grader can understand the text.
