Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Flesch-Kincaid readability score?
The Flesch-Kincaid score measures text readability on a scale from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate easier-to-read text. A score of 60-70 is considered standard for adult readers, while scores below 30 suggest very complex academic text.
How are reading and speaking times calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 200-250 words per minute, while speaking time uses 130-150 words per minute. These are average rates that provide a reasonable estimate for most content types.
What does the longest and shortest word analysis show?
The tool identifies the longest and shortest words in your text along with their character counts. This helps you spot unusually long words that may affect readability or identify very short words that could be articles or prepositions.
How is the most common word determined?
The tool counts the frequency of each unique word in your text and displays the one that appears most often. Common stop words like 'the' and 'is' are included in the count, giving you a complete picture of word distribution.
Does the tool count Chinese characters separately?
Yes. The tool separately counts Chinese characters, English letters, digits, punctuation, and spaces. This provides a detailed breakdown of your text composition, which is especially useful for bilingual content.
