Frequently asked questions
What is a good reading-ease score?
General reader-facing text scores 60-70 (standard). Academic writing often sits 30-50, which is "hard" but normal for the genre.
How accurate is syllable counting?
It uses a standard English heuristic, so it is very close for most words but can slip on unusual proper nouns. The grade level is an estimate, not exact.
What does lexical density tell me?
A higher share of unique words means denser, more academic text. Very high density can feel heavy; mixing in common words improves flow.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The text stays in your browser and is analysed locally as you type.
