Script or tool for grading your book?

Steven Lake · 06-18-2012, 12:47 PM

I remember hearing at one time about a tool that would look at your book and determine the average reading level of it, such as 8th grade, college, etc. Anyone ever seen this or know where to find it? I'm just wondering because I want to run a few of my books through it out of pure morbid curiosity.

MS Word does this built in. There are several different ways to determine it, and Word use two different ones, but I forget which off hand. Its part of the grammar check tool.

There's also Paper Rater. www.paperrater.com. You just input your text on the site and it analyzes it. I've used it a couple of times, and it works well, but I still do a final check afterwards.
