Readability Scorer

Scores your text with the classic readability formulas — Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch–Kincaid Grade, SMOG, Gunning fog, Coleman–Liau and ARI — shows the inputs each formula saw (sentence length, syllables per word) and translates the numbers into a school-grade estimate.

Runs 100% in your browser — nothing you paste leaves your device.

Notes

  • Syllables are counted with a heuristic (vowel groups plus corrections), the same approach most tools use; expect small differences from hand counts.
  • The formulas were calibrated on English prose. Scores for other languages, code or bullet lists are not meaningful.
  • Runs 100% in your browser — nothing you paste leaves your device.
