How Readable Works Step 2

Hello and welcome to Readable! We're thrilled you're here.


Did you know that the average attention span for a website visitor is only 7 seconds? That's roughly how long it takes the average person to read two average sentences. That's not much time to grab someone's attention.


The trick is to use plain language where possible. Don't make your reader work to get to the point! Use short sentences rather than long sentences which drone on and on and try to say too much and your readers lose interest part way through like this one. Avoid complex words where simple alternatives work just as well. And that is where Readable comes in - Readable helps you take control of your content.


Readability scoring is the secret sauce behind Readable. By improving the readability of your content you can ensure that more of your readers read to the end of your content and more of your readers understand what you've published. That means your content works harder, your advertising spend goes further, and your ability to engage your hard-won audience is greater.


We help you find the difficult passages in your content and the difficult pages in your website. We track down the long sentences in your Word documents, the clich?s and the passive voice in your emails. We check spelling and grammar, we find profanity and buzzwords, and we identify lazy language. If you have a website, even better - we can index, score and monitor your website to ensure you maintain a high standard of readability.


This example text has been written aiming for a rating of "B", meaning there is room for improvement. Try splitting longer sentences above into shorter ones, or replacing some long words, to see if you can improve it to an "A".
