Clarity Rating Calculator

This tool lets you see how clear your writing is at the click of a button. Copy the text from an e-mail you've written, or a section of a report, into the box below. You'll then get given a number. This is the Clarity Rating of the text. The aim is to get this number down to within a specific range (15-25).

The Clarity Rating uses a combination of word, sentence and paragraph length to see how clear your writing is. For an explanation of this tool, please click here to read the introductory article which covers the background and limitations of the tool.
