The readability score is based on the Flesch Reading Ease formula, which considers sentence length and syllable count. Scores range from 0-100: 80+ is Easy (6th grade), 60-79 is Standard (8th-9th grade), 40-59 is Moderate (college), and below 40 is Difficult (professional).
Reading time is calculated at 225 words per minute, which is the average adult reading speed. Speaking time uses 150 words per minute, the average speaking rate for presentations.
