πŸ”§ Troubleshooting & FAQ

Why isn't my text being analyzed?

Make sure you have pasted or typed text in the left panel. ReadMeter Pro analyzes text in real-time as you type. If you're still having issues, try refreshing the page.

How accurate are the readability scores?

Our readability algorithms are based on established formulas like Flesch-Kincaid and Coleman-Liau. While very accurate for most content, they work best with standard prose and may be less precise for technical content, poetry, or non-standard text formats.

Can I analyze documents from Word or Google Docs?

Yes! Simply copy and paste your content from any document into ReadMeter Pro. The tool will automatically analyze the text while preserving paragraph structure for accurate analysis.

Is my data stored or tracked?

No! ReadMeter Pro is completely privacy-focused. Your text is analyzed locally in your browser and never stored on our servers. We don't track, save, or share any of your content.
