Frequently Asked Questions
What is Flesch-Kincaid?
It is a readability test designed to indicate how difficult a passage in English is to understand. A higher score in 'Reading Ease' means the text is easier to read.
What is a good readability score?
For general web content, aiming for a 6th to 8th-grade reading level ensures maximum accessibility. For academic papers, a college-grade level (13+) is expected.
How do you calculate complexity?
We analyze two core factors: sentence length (words per sentence) and word length (syllables per word). Long sentences with polysyllabic words increase the complexity score.
