Of course, I was right.  Thanks for site.  I have passed it along to our junior high school ESL coordinator who also thinks it's great.</summary><id>tag:addedbytes.com,2009:108696</id><published>2009-02-12T03:47:35+00:00</published><updated>2009-02-12T03:47:35Z</updated></entry><entry><title>Comment on Check Text Readability</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.addedbytes.com/article/readability-score/comments/" /><summary type="text">Comment by Edd ( &lt;a href=""&gt;&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a certified reading teacher, I found this to be quite helpful when leveling a given text for students to read independently.</summary><id>tag:addedbytes.com,2009:108296</id><published>2009-01-20T02:35:06+00:00</published><updated>2009-01-20T02:35:06Z</updated></entry><entry><title>Comment on Check Text Readability</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.addedbytes.com/article/readability-score/comments/" /><summary type="text">Comment by Dee ( &lt;a href=""&gt;&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice tool, especially because scores from several popular readability formulas are displayed at once.  Two suggestions for presentation format:  (1) have the statistical information display ahead of the inputed text to allow users to see these immediately without the need to scroll through the text; (2) In addition to individual scores, provide an average rating of the last five indexes, as they are all based on grade-level issues.   The average may be a more powerful measure than any single index score.  Thanks for producing this kind of online tool.</summary><id>tag:addedbytes.com,2009:108139</id><published>2009-01-13T17:08:21+00:00</published><updated>2009-01-13T17:08:21Z</updated></entry><entry><title>Comment on Check Text Readability</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.addedbytes.com/article/readability-score/comments/" /><summary type="text">Comment by Geraldo ( &lt;a href="http://www.nlpmax.com"&gt;http://www.nlpmax.com&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NLPMax has probably one of the best fog index calculator in the internet.

Well, after copying my earlier comment in the box, it came back with an Automated Readability Index of 0.1!&lt;br /&gt;
So it would take about 0.1 year to read the text. Funny score.</summary><id>tag:addedbytes.com,2008:106478</id><published>2008-11-14T11:48:49+00:00</published><updated>2008-11-14T11:48:49Z</updated></entry><entry><title>Comment on Check Text Readability</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.addedbytes.com/article/readability-score/comments/" /><summary type="text">Comment by Martin de Vos ( &lt;a href=""&gt;&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for a great tool.&lt;br /&gt;
It's a pity that it didn't work with a longer text (72 pages).&lt;br /&gt;
Is there a maximum that can be processed?</summary><id>tag:addedbytes.com,2008:106477</id><published>2008-11-14T11:40:43+00:00</published><updated>2008-11-14T11:40:43Z</updated></entry></feed>
