eReadable vs Text Inspector

eReadable is a free web-based writing tool for examining readability and adapting text to a target reading level. Its checker reports readability scores and grade levels, then flags difficult lines for review. The Text Simplifier rewrites dense passages in clearer English while aiming to retain required meaning. The Plain English Checker identifies jargon, legalistic wording, vague phrases, and passive voice, suggesting clearer alternatives. A Reading Level Converter supports grade and CEFR targets such as Grade 5, Grade 8, Grade 10, B1, and B2. The Sentence Rewriter offers clearer, shorter, or more direct versions for individual lines. eReadable combines formulas, structural checks, and task-specific rewriting, including Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid, Gunning Fog, and SMOG. It accepts text input and includes grade-level analysis, sentence-complexity checks, and plain-language rewrites. Automated output still requires review for meaning, terminology, factual accuracy, and legal accuracy.

Text Inspector analyses English text for difficulty, readability, lexical diversity, and CEFR levels. Its overall difficulty score draws on more than 200 metrics, while the CEFR Level Checker gives individual words a level along with their commonness and difficulty. Listed tools include Statistics and Readability, Lexical Diversity, Scorecard, Tagger, EVP, BNC, COCA, Academic Word List and Phrases, Knowledge-Based Vocabulary Lists, and Metadiscourse Markers. An API lets people and organisations add analysis and scoring to their own products. The maker describes it as useful to language professionals, academics, and students preparing teaching materials or tests and evaluating student work. English is fully supported; other languages may receive limited statistics or lexical-diversity information. The Free plan covers 250 words and automatically deletes analysis data after six hours. The Organisation plan allows up to 13,000 words, the largest stated limit. A 30-day trial is listed for API access, which starts from £360 per year.
