Why is readability important?

Did you know that the average American adult reads at a 7th to 9th grade level? Keeping your content within that range is a great way to maximize your readership, and our readability tool is here to help.

It doesn't matter what you're saying if no one can comprehend it. Understanding your audience and their readability expectations is one of the most important parts of writing. It can be marketing, teaching, or working on a novel. No matter the medium, your content has to be accessible in order for it to succeed.

That's not all, though: If you're writing for something like a medical publication, you don't want to write at a 3rd grade level. So not only should your content be accessible, it needs to be demographically appropriate as well.

If your audience expects a specific type of writing, failure to meet that expectation can be jarring. They may become preoccupied with the style of your writing, which causes your content to lose much of its value. Just think of how often you've heard people complain about the writing in a novel like Moby-Dick, even though it's long been a household name. The conversation becomes about the writing itself, rather than the content.

It can be hard to write consistently at a certain grade level, especially if doing so is contrary to your usual writing style. Our tool lets you check your content as you create it, so you can fine-tune your writing during the process instead of afterwards.

Use this tool to measure the readability of your content and you'll end up with a masterpiece tailor-made for your audience. Don't shoot yourself in the foot with poor readability – what you say is often less important than how you say it.

You can test by URL or direct input in which you copy and paste all content into the tool.

Anyone! Whether you're a marketing manager, a content writer, or something else, you can benefit from using the readability test tool. You can guarantee that it will help you write better content in the future while saving you time in the process!

The readability test tool uses the Flesch Kincaid reading ease test, the Flesch Kincaid grade level test, the Gunning Fog score, the Coleman Liau index, the Automated Readability Index (ARI), and the SMOG index to help you better understand how easy your content is to understand.

Besides a number score in each of the areas we mentioned in the last answer, you'll also be able to see how many sentences your content has, number of words, number of complex words, percentage of complex words, average words per sentence and average syllables per word. After you run the readability test on your content, you'll also be able to see a breakdown of each of the readability tests we use!
