Frequently asked questions
What does the readability score mean?
It reports the Flesch Reading Ease, where higher is easier. Roughly, 90 to 100 is very easy, 60 to 70 is plain English, and below 30 is hard. The Flesch-Kincaid grade estimates the US school grade needed to read the text.
How are reading and speaking time estimated?
Reading time assumes an average silent reading speed of 200 words per minute. Speaking time assumes a presentation pace of 130 words per minute. Both are guides, not exact figures.
How are syllables counted?
Syllables are estimated with a vowel-group heuristic: each run of vowels counts as one syllable, a silent trailing 'e' is dropped, and every word with letters counts as at least one. It is an estimate, so unusual spellings can be slightly off.
How are words, sentences and paragraphs counted?
Words are runs of non-space characters. Sentences are counted by runs of period, exclamation or question marks. Paragraphs are non-empty blocks separated by one or more blank lines.
What counts as a unique word?
Unique words are compared without case and with punctuation stripped, so 'Cat', 'cat,' and 'CAT!' all count as the same word.
