Understanding Paragraph Readability

The Paragraph Readability feature helps you identify sections of your text that might be challenging for readers to understand. Using the Flesch Reading Ease score, it categorizes paragraphs into different readability levels, helping you maintain consistent clarity throughout your document.

How It Works

The feature analyzes each paragraph and:

  • Calculates its Flesch Reading Ease score
  • Identifies two levels of difficulty:
    • Difficult (scores between 30-50)
    • Very Difficult (scores below 30)
  • Highlights paragraphs using color coding
  • Provides specific readability metrics for each paragraph
