The free tool, called the Readability Consensus Calculator, analyzes the writer&#8217;s text through seven <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.readabilityformulas.com\/free-readability-calculators.php\">popular readability calculators<\/a> to determine an overall:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Reading level: from easy to very difficult.<\/li>\n<li>Grade Level: 1st grade to graduate school.<\/li>\n<li>Age Group: 6 to 22 years old and above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This data helps writers determine in advance if their text will be too easy, too difficult, or on target with their readers. Writers will have a better idea if they need to revise their text to weed out hard words, long sentences, and other poor writing issues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.readabilityformulas.com\/free-readability-formula-tests.php\">Automatic Readability Calculator<\/a> can be used on any text to determine if public readers can read a text without difficulty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For example:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bloggers, freelance writers, content curators, and digital publishers can analyze their posts and articles to ensure they&#8217;re writing at a 7-8th grade level&mdash;the average reading level of most people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ad agencies, marketing firms, and corporations can analyze their branding messages to ensure they&#8217;re using familiar and recognizable terms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Insurance companies, financial institutions, and healthcare providers can analyze their policies, manuals, and documents to ensure they&#8217;re communicating effectively to their clients and customers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ReadabilityFormulas.com also offers the Dale-Chall and Spache readability tools for writers and publishers who are writing for young readers, from primary through fourth grade levels. Both tools compare the writer&#8217;s text against a wordlist of difficult words and outputs a grade level.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even though readability formulas have existed for centuries, their popularity has grown in recent years. Brian Scott, who launched the site in 2003, says &#8220;Because the Internet makes information more accessible and global, many writers and publishers want to make sure their content is reader-friendly and reaching as many readers as possible. One way to achieve this goal is with these formulas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Using readability formulas to gauge a text&#8217;s &#8220;true reading level&#8221; is not a catchall solution to write effectively for readers, admits Scott. &#8220;They still can&#8217;t tell you if readers will understand your text after they read it. Reading a text and understanding a text are different. Readers may be able to identify and define each word in a text, but do they truly know what the text is communicating as a whole?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To help writers and non-writers understand the benefits and limits of readability formulas, he has published a handful of articles at his website, ranging from &#8220;How Readability Formulas Work&#8221; to &#8220;The Practical Purposes of Using Readability Formulas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To use the site&#8217;s free tools and learn more about writing reader-friendly content, visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.readabilityformulas.com\">http:\/\/www.readabilityformulas.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style='font-size:18px !important;'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> ReadabilityFormulas.com<br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Brian Scott<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> contactus@readabilityformulas.com<br \/><strong>Phone:<\/strong> 843-619-7518<br \/><strong>Address:<\/strong>1818 Hwy. 17 W  <br \/><strong>City:<\/strong> Myrtle Beach<br \/><strong>State:<\/strong> SC<br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> United States<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.readabilityformulas.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.readabilityformulas.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><object type=\"text\/html\" data=\"http:\/\/www.readabilityformulas.com\" style=\"width:605px; height:400px;\"><\/object><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=readabilityformulascom-helps-writers-and-nonwriters-make-their-content-readerfriendly\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ReadabilityFormulas.com has updated its popular automatic readability calculator to help writers and non-writers write more effectively for their readers.
