Data·yze Readability Analyzer vs Slick Write

Data·yze Readability Analyzer is a free, ad-supported web app that estimates how readable text may be for a chosen audience. It reports Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease, Gunning Fog Index, Kincaid Grade Level, SMOG, Dale–Chall, and Fry Reading Graph metrics. Sentence analysis and clarity recommendations are available, while a paragraph view shows statistics and changes in readability through a document. You can enter text or upload a file, then save or download the input. A separate Website Readability Analyzer evaluates an individual webpage and average readability across a site. Its crawler is limited to 1,000 pages per user per day; pausing and resuming on another day can work around that cap. Data·yze says analyzed passages are not collected or stored, although passage length is retained for performance analysis. Uploaded files may be cached and automatically removed within seven days, possibly sooner. The maker cautions that scores are heuristic estimates, not writing-quality measures, and work best with plain text.
