2. Readable

No matter how complicated your topic is, readability is essential. Not everyone could understand specialized English so we are usually attracted more by high-quality articles or writing with word diversity, connected expressions, and easily understandable statements than by the one with poor word choices, dry writing composition, or even grammar errors.

Following that, Readable's text scoring tool will let you know how easy your writing is to read and give suggestions to improve its readability.

Particularly, you could easily paste your writing on its website and you will get a table of results in different categories. The "Grade" column bases on the USA education system to provide the level of education a person should get to understand your writing. If you get the grade level of 8 or below, around 85% of the general public can understand your writing and this performs clearly in the "reach" column.

The "Issue" column provides issues of readability (such as long sentences, long words), writing styles, text density.

On the "Reach" column, you will see a measure of the proportion of your target audience that can read your content easily, the tone analysis from how formal to conversational your writing is, the sentiment analysis from how negative to positive your writing is, and the personalism measure of the degree to which you are writing about the reader, rather than yourself.

On the "Word" column, you will get Text Statistics (word count, sentence count, paragraph count...), timing (reading time, speaking time), text composition (adjective, nouns, verbs...)

Complex sentences with repeated specific or difficultly understandable words could make your writing less professional. If this is your problem, Readable is your solution.

3. Hemingway App

Ernest Hemingway was an American author known for his simple and direct writing style. So the central idea of the Hemingway Editor is to help you explain complex ideas in a basic manner.

The Hemingway App website works in a similar way to the previously mentioned readability score: It checks the readability of your writing, the number of passive sentences and adverbs to provides suggestions for easier understandable expressions. However, this website doesn't correct the spelling.

The web version of Hemingway App Editor is totally free. You just need to copy your writing and paste it to the editing interface then this Editor will automatically check problems in your writing and provide you with a score and suggestions on how to improve the clarity of the writing. With too long or passive sentences or unnecessary adverbs, it will show you through different color highlights as below:

You can edit your writing right on the website and see your readability score increase. It is a very amazing tool to help you write in a simpler style.
