Text Analysis — Readability, Word Count, and Style Metrics
The Text Statistics tool analyzes your text in real time: words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, reading time, speaking time, and — most importantly — readability scores using established formulas. Ideal for academic writing, official language, or content optimization.
Flesch-Amstad Readability Index
The Flesch-Amstad index is the German adaptation of the Flesch Reading Ease score. It rates readability on a scale from 0 (extremely difficult) to 100 (very easy). The formula considers average sentence length and average syllables per word. Guidelines: 60–70 is considered easily understandable for the general public, below 30 indicates academic or legal complexity.
Wiener Sachtextformel (Vienna Non-Fiction Formula)
The Wiener Sachtextformel was developed specifically for German non-fiction texts. It returns a school grade level as the result — a score of 8 means the text is understandable for eighth graders. The formula considers the proportion of long words (more than 6 letters), sentence length, and the proportion of monosyllabic words.
