Why Readability Matters
However valuable a text is, it fails its purpose if it is hard to read. Readability is measured by sentence length and word complexity; short sentences and low-syllable words make a text easier. In web content, high readability keeps visitors on the page longer, helps them understand the message and brings them closer to conversion. This tool gives your text a score from 0–100 using the Ateşman formula, specific to Turkish.
How to Read the Score
- 90–100: Very easy — primary-school level.
- 70–89: Easy — suitable for a wide audience. The ideal range for web content.
- 50–69: Medium — high-school level.
- 30–49: Hard — university level.
- 0–29: Very hard — academic/expert level.
How It Is Calculated
The Ateşman formula considers words per sentence and syllables per word (in Turkish, syllable count equals vowel count). Long sentences and multi-syllable words lower the score. To raise it: shorten sentences, cut unnecessary adjectives and replace long words with simpler ones. Target 60+ for web text aimed at a broad audience.
