Text Improver
The page for when you know the text needs work but not which kind. Rewrite it, read the before-and-after readability numbers, and change mode until the numbers agree with you.
Rewriting Mode
Natural: Balanced, human-sounding. This mode does not combine short sentences, or strip filler phrases or intensifiers.
Measured Before and After, Not Just Rewritten
Improvement is only meaningful if you can see it, so every rewrite here returns measurements for both versions: Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid grade level, Gunning Fog, SMOG, the Automated Readability Index, Coleman-Liau, average sentence and word length, syllable count, vocabulary diversity as a type-token ratio, estimated reading time at 200 words per minute, and the percentage of sentences in the passive voice, detected from the dependency parse rather than guessed from word endings.
A Report of Which Rules Fired
You also get a report of which rules fired, how many were rolled back, how many sentences changed and whether your numbers and negations survived.
Letting the Numbers Choose the Mode
Use that to choose: Simple if the grade level is too high, Concise if the word count is, Professional if the passive share is, Casual if it reads stiffly.
The Grammar Pass on the Finished Text
Up to five high-confidence grammar fixes are applied to the finished document, and they are discarded outright if they would alter a figure or a negation.
Common Use Cases
- Getting a report down from a college reading level to a high-school one
- Finding out what share of your sentences are actually passive
- Checking whether an edit really improved readability or just felt like it
- Bringing website copy in line with a target grade level
- Comparing two modes on the same paragraph using the metrics rather than taste
