Score any text against the five most-cited readability formulas — Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade, Gunning Fog, SMOG, the Automated Readability Index (ARI), and Coleman-Liau — so you can match your writing to the audience you actually want to reach. See the averaged grade level, the school-level audience label, and word/sentence/syllable stats at a glance.

ARI uses characters and sentences instead of syllables — useful for short text.

Coleman-Liau
11.0grade

Like ARI, character-based. Good for OCR'd or auto-generated text.

工具介绍

Score any text against the five most-cited readability formulas — Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade, Gunning Fog, SMOG, the Automated Readability Index (ARI), and Coleman-Liau — so you can match your writing to the audience you actually want to reach. See the averaged grade level, the school-level audience label, and word/sentence/syllable stats at a glance.

工具概览

Different formulas weight different things — Flesch-Kincaid leans on syllable counts, ARI and Coleman-Liau use character counts, Gunning Fog and SMOG penalize long words. Each gives a slightly different angle on the same draft. Showing all five plus their average makes it easy to spot when your writing is genuinely too dense versus when one formula is over-penalizing a niche style. Everything runs client-side; no draft is uploaded.

使用场景

  • Tune marketing copy to a 6th-9th grade reading level for broad reach
  • Audit technical documentation for accidental jargon density
  • Match academic writing to journal or course expectations
  • Test ESL-friendly content against the Flesch ease score
  • Compare different drafts of the same paragraph side-by-side

常见问题

Which score should I trust?+
Look at the average. For most general writing the Flesch Reading Ease is the most intuitive — aim for 60-70 to reach the broad public. For technical writing, the average grade level is the more useful number.
Why do the scores disagree?+
Each formula weights different signals. SMOG penalizes 3+ syllable words heavily, ARI focuses on character counts. A draft full of short technical jargon (like 'SQL', 'API') confuses character-based formulas but Flesch-Kincaid handles it fine.
Is the syllable count exact?+
It's heuristic — like every browser-based readability tool — and accurate within a few percent for English text. Names, acronyms, and very unusual spellings can drift.
Does it work for non-English?+
The formulas were calibrated for English. Spanish, French, German, etc. will still produce numbers, but the grade-level mapping isn't valid. Use it for relative comparisons, not absolute claims.
