Readability Checker

Check how easy your text is to read. Free, no account required.

Pasted text is used first. A page address is read on our side and only the visible words are measured.

How this is worked out

The check counts sentences, words and syllables, then estimates how much effort the text asks of a reader. Short sentences and everyday words read more easily for most people. Subject knowledge, layout and typeface matter too, and no formula can see those.

Checking colours instead? Use the Colour Contrast Checker.
