Content Readability Scorer

What is Content Readability?

Content readability refers to how easy it is for your target audience to understand and engage with your written content. It's measured using various formulas that analyze factors like sentence length, word complexity, and overall text structure.

Readability scores help you determine if your content is appropriate for your intended audience. For example, content written for industry professionals might have a lower readability score (more complex) than content written for general consumers.

Our Content Readability Scorer analyzes your text using multiple proven methodologies, including:

• Flesch Reading Ease: Scores from 0-100, where higher scores indicate easier reading
• Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: Indicates the U.S. grade level required to understand the content
• Gunning Fog Index: Measures years of formal education needed to understand the text
• SMOG Index: Estimates the years of education needed to fully understand the content
