FAQ

How this task behaves.

    No. The tool only calculates readability scores. You must ask your AI to perform the actual rewriting based on those scores.

  • 02

    Does the AI change my original files?

    No. The AI only reads the text to perform calculations. It does not modify or overwrite your original documents.

  • 03

    What kind of readability formulas are used?

    The tool uses standardized linguistic formulas to provide consistent, measurable scores for any text you provide.

  • 04

    Can I check a whole PDF at once?

    Yes, as long as your AI client can read the file and pass the text to the tool.

  • 05

    Will the AI tell me if the document is legally valid?

    No. The AI only measures how easy the text is to read. It cannot determine if the content is legally sound or compliant with the law.
