If you need to score your text using multiple readability formulas, please use our Readability Scoring System.
THE RAYGOR GRAPH CALCULATOR


THE RAYGOR GRAPH CALCULATOR will automatically score the readability of your text and plot the points on a graph. The tool is used to determine if readers might find your text easy or difficult to read. It analyzes words with six or more letters in a sentence and the number of syllables in a word. By plotting these two factors on a graph, you can see the reading level needed to understand a text. (If you need to score Spanish text, go to SpanishReadability.com)

The Raygor Graph has been used in various contexts, including education, publishing, and healthcare. It allows teachers to choose texts that match their students' reading abilities, publishers to target specific audiences, and healthcare professionals to develop materials that patients can easily understand. ( Learn more about The Raygor Graph. )

1. GET STARTED
Paste your text into the text area or upload a .txt file from your computer. For Word or .pdf documents, first copy the text into your clipboard, then paste into our text area. Otherwise, type your text into the text area. For texts exceeding 2K words, we recommend processing random samples of your text. You can select this option below the text area.

2. FOR BEST RESULTS
Make sure your text is spell-checked beforehand. Misspellings can alter results. Each sentence should end with a punctuation mark, otherwise run-on sentences can alter results. Abbreviated words should be correctly abbreviated (Mr. or Mrs. not Mr or Mrs). A clean, properly-formatted and grammatically-correct text will yield the best results.

3. SELECT THE FORMULA
Make sure you checkmark The Raygor Graph checkbox.

4. FINE-TUNE OUR SYSTEM
Open the "System Settings" (below the formulas) and change default settings if need be to fine-tune how the scoring system processes your text. Click on any [ ? ] to get more information about the option.

5. READY, SET, GO!
When you're ready, hit the "Calculate Text Readability" button. Our system will analyze and score your text and output the information on a new page. Our Raygor Graph Calculator will analyze your text and output the results to help you determine who can read your text.

6. WORD STATS ONLY
If you need a fast way to see "Word Statistics" for your text, select any formula and hit the "Calculate Text Readability" button. Our system will process your text and output important stats, such as syllable count, average sentence length, number of abbreviations, proper nouns, passive voice, etc.
