This is really cool! I entered some of my own writing and was annoyed that it’s currently a 4th grade reading level, but w/e. I’ll get there.

First of all, a great thank you for this. It’s very useful (to say the least) in analyzing texts. Quick and easy to use with a very clean interface makes this an excellent tool. Again, many thanks for providing this.
