Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Vocabulary Richness” mean?
Vocabulary Richness is the Type-Token Ratio (TTR), calculated as (Unique Words / Total Words) × 100. A higher percentage indicates more diverse vocabulary. A value of 100% means every word is unique; lower values suggest repetition.
What is the Reading Level estimate?
The Reading Level uses the Flesch Reading Ease formula to estimate the U.S. grade level needed to understand the text. Scores range from 0-100: 90-100 (5th grade), 80-90 (6th grade), up to 0-30 (college graduate). Higher scores = easier to read.
How is Passive Voice estimated?
The tool detects sentences containing common passive voice indicators like “is/are/was/were” followed by past participles (words ending in -ed, -en). This is an estimate, not a perfect detection, as passive voice is complex in English.
Is my text private?
Yes, absolutely. All analysis happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never sent to any server and is not stored anywhere. Your privacy is guaranteed.
What counts as a paragraph?
A paragraph is defined as a block of text separated by one or more line breaks. The tool counts continuous text blocks as individual paragraphs.
Can I analyze very long texts?
Yes! The tool can handle texts of any length. However, analysis of extremely large texts (100,000+ words) may take a few seconds. For best experience on mobile, keep texts under 50,000 words.
