What does a text simplifier do? +
A text simplifier replaces complex, difficult words with simpler alternatives, shortens long sentences, removes jargon, and restructures paragraphs to be easier to read. The goal is to lower the reading level while keeping the original meaning intact.
What is a Flesch readability score? +
The Flesch Reading Ease score measures how easy text is to read on a scale of 0–100. Scores above 70 are easy (plain English), 60–70 are standard, 30–60 are difficult, and below 30 are very difficult. Most web content should aim for 60–70 or higher.
Will simplifying text change the meaning? +
This tool replaces words using a curated synonym map focused on preserving meaning. The core information stays the same — only the vocabulary and sentence structure change to be more accessible. Always review the output to confirm the meaning is preserved.
What is the best readability level for web content? +
For general web content, aim for a Flesch score of 60–70 (7th–8th grade reading level). Blog posts and marketing copy should target 65–75. Technical documentation can be lower. Simple content gets more engagement, lower bounce rates, and better SEO performance.
