Frequently Asked Questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is calculated based on average reading speeds: slow readers (150 words per minute), average readers (250 words per minute), and fast readers (350 words per minute). These are standard estimates used in education and publishing.
What makes text difficult to read?
Text difficulty is determined by several factors: average sentence length, average word length, vocabulary complexity, and sentence structure variation. Longer sentences and less common words typically increase reading difficulty.
Can I analyze multiple files at once?
Yes! You can upload multiple files and we'll analyze each one individually, then provide combined statistics. Each file's analysis is also available separately.
What file formats are supported?
We support plain text files (.txt), Markdown (.md), HTML (.html), PDF (.pdf), Word documents (.docx), and rich text format (.rtf). For PDF and Word files, we extract the text content for analysis.
How accurate is the readability score?
Our readability scores are based on established formulas like the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level and the Automated Readability Index. While not perfect, they provide good estimates of text difficulty for most English texts.
