About this tool

Two of the oldest, most-cited readability metrics — Flesch Reading Ease (higher = easier) and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (target audience grade). Useful when tuning a landing page or an AI's tone.

How it works

  1. The tool counts words, sentences, and syllables (using a fast heuristic).
  2. It computes both scores from the standard formulas.
  3. A qualitative label maps the Flesch score to a rough audience level.

When to use it

  • Making sure your marketing copy is at 8th-grade reading level.
  • Constraining an LLM's output to a target reading level via prompt tuning + scoring.
  • Benchmarking two variants of an article intro.
