Sentence clarity bench

Where does your paragraph lose the reader?

Paste a paragraph in English or German. The bench marks long sentences, passive voice, hedges and filler, and says why each one costs the reader effort. It never rewrites your text. It runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

00 · How it works

Step 1

Paste a paragraph

Any text you want to sharpen: an email, a landing-page section, a report paragraph. English or Deutsch is detected automatically; switch it by hand if needed.

Step 2

Check the text

It counts words and syllables for a reading-ease score (Flesch for English, Amstad for German) and marks the patterns that make sentences heavy.

Step 3

Read the reasons

Each mark comes with its reason and one option. You decide what to change. The score is a rough guide, not a grade.

Example

I think we should just maybe delay it. carries three hedges. The bench points at each one and asks whether you are really unsure, or only soft. A direct version: We should delay it.

A rule-based check, not a verdict. Some marks will be wrong in context (a passive is sometimes the right choice). Your text stays in this browser tab.
