Introduction to readability checker
A readability checker helps you find out how easy your text is to read. It shows the "reading age," which tells you how understandable your writing is for different age groups.
Our free Readability Scoring System analyzes English text and scores it based on how easy or hard it is to read, using popular formulas. You’ll find out the grade level and age of readers who are most likely to understand your text. The Readability Test Tool is quick and easy to use, and by far the best tool for checking how readable your writing is.
