Very hard sentences (over 30 words), hard sentences (over 20 words), adverbs, passive voice, and phrases with a simpler alternative. The line under your text counts each one and shows a reading level and reading time.
Split the red and amber sentences, cut adverbs where a stronger verb works, and click Fix next to a simpler word to swap it in. Open Readability for the full list, and hide any highlight you want to keep.
Sentence length works in any language. Adverbs, passive voice and simpler words are checked in English only.
Readability highlights run in your browser. Proofread, Rewrite and the other AI actions send only the text you act on, and nothing is kept once the reply comes back.
