Frequently Asked Questions

The Flesch-Kincaid reading ease score is a number from 0 to 100 that indicates how easy a text is to read. A score of 60-70 is considered standard (easily understood by 13-15 year olds). Higher scores mean easier reading, while lower scores indicate more complex text.

For general web content, aim for a score of 60-70 (Standard). For broader audiences, 70-80 (Easy) is ideal. Academic papers typically score 30-50. Marketing copy and blog posts should target 60+ to maximize engagement.

The tool uses a vowel-group heuristic: it counts groups of consecutive vowels (a, e, i, o, u, y) in each word. It adjusts for silent 'e' endings and ensures every word has at least one syllable. This provides a reliable approximation for readability scoring.

The Flesch-Kincaid grade level indicates the U.S. school grade needed to understand the text. For example, a grade level of 8 means an eighth-grader can understand it. Most popular content is written at a 7th-8th grade level.

Yes. Academic writing typically has readability scores between 30-50 and grade levels of 12+. The tool helps you understand where your academic text falls and whether you might want to simplify certain sections for clarity.

Check a draft before you submit

Detectors such as GPTZero, Turnitin, and ZeroGPT estimate whether a draft looks AI-written. They can also flag human writing.

SupWriter includes an AI detector so you can check a draft before you submit. It is a pre-check based on one scoring model, not the detector your school or client uses. Results vary by detector, text length and topic, and no tool can guarantee a result. How we test AI detectors

Detectors schools and clients use. SupWriter doesn't query them.
