Check readability in 3 simple steps

1. Paste your text or upload a document

Paste directly into the box or upload a .txt file. Everything runs in your browser and is never uploaded to a server.

You can adjust words-per-minute for reading time, and choose how many of the hardest sentences to highlight.

200 wpm is typical for online reading. Increase for fast readers, decrease for dense content.

We rank sentences by length and complexity. Start with the top 3 and rewrite them.

The analysis uses Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level formulas – both standard, transparent, and widely used in education and SEO tooling.

Paste at least a few sentences and click Analyze readability to see scores.
3. Review scores, reading time, and hardest sentences
