Frequently asked questions
What score should I aim for?
Scores of 60 to 70 are easy for most adults. Technical content can score lower, but clearer is usually better.
Is the syllable count exact?
It is an estimate designed for English text, so treat the score as a guide rather than a precise measurement.
