Readability is the skill with which a reader can understand a written text. In reality, the readability of text is about on its content and its presentation. Researchers have used diverse factors to measure readability. They produce an approximate representation of the US grade level needed to understand a text.
For the implementation of this application, we used these various factors to measure readability of a text write in English language:
- Automated Readability Index (ARI);
- Flesch-Kincaid readability tests;
- Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG);
- Coleman-Liau index.
To find these scores, we have to find first: number of words, sentences, characters, syllables, polysyllables and some others measures (like average number of character per 100 words ...) in the text in question.
