What the Flesch numbers are saying

Flesch Reading Ease rewards shorter sentences and simpler words; higher scores are easier to skim. Flesch–Kincaid estimates a U.S. school grade. The formulas are English-oriented, but they still help compare drafts in other Latin-script languages as a relative signal—not a literary judgment.

How to use Flesch Readability Score

Paste text into Flesch Readability Score and read the live result. Nothing is sent to a server for typical use — adjust the input until the output looks right, then copy it.

Tips for better results

Start with a short sample to confirm the reading. Large pastes are fine once you trust the output. Use Reset if you want a clean slate.

Privacy and offline-friendly processing

Whenever possible, Flesch Readability Score processes your data locally with JavaScript in this page. That means drafts, secrets, and unfinished work stay on your device by default. Prefer this workflow when you do not want to upload sensitive text, tokens, passwords, or files to a third-party service.

Frequently asked questions

Is this accurate for Portuguese or Spanish?

The classic formulas were tuned on English. Treat scores as a relative clarity signal when comparing two drafts, not as an absolute label.

Why do syllables look approximate?

Syllables are estimated with a lightweight heuristic so everything can run offline in your browser.

Is my data uploaded when I use this tool?
