Paste text to check its readability.
A readability checker scores how easy a piece of text is to read using the Flesch Reading Ease formula, which weighs average sentence length and word complexity. Writers and editors use it to catch overly dense passages before publishing content meant for a general audience.
Most general-audience web content aims for a score of 60 or above, roughly an 8th–9th grade reading level, which is considered accessible to most readers without feeling oversimplified.
Syllable counting uses a rule-based approximation rather than a dictionary lookup, so it can be slightly inaccurate for unusual words, proper nouns, or non-English text. Treat the score as a useful estimate, not an exact measurement.
