Text Readability Analyzer
Score how readable any text is — and learn exactly who can read it and how to make it clearer.
Live on the Apify Store — run it instantly, or call it as an agent tool via Apify MCP.
What you get
- Six industry-standard formulas: Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade, Gunning Fog, SMOG, Automated Readability Index (ARI), Coleman-Liau — plus a consensus grade level.
- Reading level + target audience in plain language (e.g. "Standard — 8th–9th grade, the web sweet spot").
- Actionable suggestions when the text is too complex (sentence length, complex words, word choice).
- Full stats: sentences, words, syllables, characters, complex-word %, averages.
- Single or bulk — analyze one text or up to 100 in a single run; each is scored independently.
No API keys, no setup. Pure analysis, runs in seconds.
Input
{"text": "Readability matters. Clear, concise writing reaches more people. Long, convoluted sentences crammed with multisyllabic terminology inevitably diminish comprehension."}
Or score many at once:
