Assess the Difficulty of your Texts with Just a Few Clicks

Upload your text files in batches or use the text editor to analyze the difficulty of your texts.
ARTE will automatically calculate the difficulty of texts using a variety of different readability formulas - both tried and tested and state-of-the-art.
The readability formulas include classic formulas like Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, SMOG, and Dale-Chall and newer formulas like the Coh-Metrix L2 Readability Index (CML2RI),
the Crowdsourced Algorithm of Reading Comprehension (CAREC), and deep-learning-based models.
The deep-learning-based model SBERT is now available for use.
Please note that the website can go into maintenance periodically.
