Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

What does the readability score measure?

It estimates English reading ease from sentence length and syllable counts. It is a rough editing signal, not a quality grade.

Can I use this score for non-English copy?

The syllable heuristic is designed for English. For other languages, review clarity with a native reader or a language-specific measure.
