Does This Only Work With English?

Several readability algorithms use syllable counting to determine their scores. The current syllable counter used here will only work with English text, so scores for other languages may be inaccurate.

The Coleman-Liau and Automated Readability Indexes do not use syllable counting, so should produce a reasonably accurate score in most European languages.

Languages like Arabic or Chinese, which reference words in different ways, will not score accurately due to inaccurate letter counting and sentence analysis.

When I was using Yoast's SEO plugin, there's a feature in there that helps people monitor the readability of their content. The Flesch's Test. Since I'm no longer using Yoast's, I have shifted to All in One SEO, I miss using it. But since I got used to having my content format to conform with Flesch Test, their pattern of content writing have become natural (integrated) with me.

Thanks for sharing that site. Now, we have an "alternative"!
