The problem it solves

You spend time manually checking whether your writing is easy to read, or you skip it entirely and hope for the best. Tracking readability scores across multiple pieces of content in a spreadsheet by hand is tedious and easy to forget.

Who it fits

Content writers, marketers, and educators who need to check reading level before publishing.

How it works

  1. Someone submits a piece of writing through a form
  2. The system checks the text's readability level
  3. The score is logged as a new row in a Google Sheet
  4. An email confirms the results, or flags an error if the check fails
What you get

Scores you see without reading each piece

Every submitted piece of writing gets a readability score logged automatically so you know its reading level at a glance.

What you get

A logged readability score for each submission and an email summary of the results.

What you need

A RapidAPI account for the readability checker, a Google Sheets account, and an email account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
