Readability Checker

The honesty about syllables being counted by rule and the formulas being English-only is refreshing — most readability tools present their score as gospel without mentioning limitations. Flagging the longest sentences is what makes this actionable instead of just a number. One suggestion: showing the score update in real time as you edit would be powerful for tightening drafts. Right now you have to paste, edit elsewhere, and re-paste, which breaks the flow of revising a paragraph until it reads simpler.

A readability score plus an estimated reading time is enough for a quick pass before publishing. I would run it on a paragraph that feels dense, then split the long sentences instead of chasing a perfect grade.

Useful tool. Readability scores are only helpful when they show what to fix, so I like that it also gives reading time. Does it highlight the specific long or hard sentences, or just the overall score? Good luck with the launch!

Good call being upfront that syllables are counted by rule and the formulas fit English only. Flagging the longest sentences is the most actionable part for me. Any plans to highlight passive voice or very long paragraphs too, so it points at what to rewrite and not just the score?

I like that it runs in the browser and picks out the longest sentences, which makes simplifying service page copy much easier. Would you consider adding a target reading age, so you can see at a glance whether a page is pitched at the right level for customers?

Flagging the longest sentences next to the Flesch score makes this more useful than a bare number. I also appreciate the honest note that the formulas only fit English.

The target US grade setting and the color-coded sentence map give writers something concrete to revise, beyond a single score. Could you add a before-and-after comparison that keeps the original draft's scores visible? That would help check whether shortening sentences improved the draft without losing important detail.

Health content lives or dies on readability — readers looking up symptoms or nutrients are often skimming quickly, so checking the Flesch score and grade level before publishing is a smart habit. Showing the longest sentences is the most actionable part, since those are usually where readers get stuck and drop off. I also appreciate the honest note that syllables are counted by rule, so scores may differ slightly from other tools. One question: does the reading-time estimate use a fixed words-per-minute rate, or can it be adjusted?
