An add-on for Google Docs which scores the copy using the Flesch Readability metric.
Listing updated:December 21, 2021
Works with:
21K+
Overview
Using short sentences and words with as few syllables as possible makes things easier to read.  We've developed a checker using the Flesch Reading Ease Score formula for you to perfect your copy.  It should only be used as a rough guide to how easy your copy is to read but aim for a score of 60 so that a 13-year old can read it.
A vowel in a word points to a new syllable and in this scoring method, the number of syllables makes things harder to read. However, the English language is full of exceptions to this rule.  We've tried to capture all of these but we welcome your feedback on any we may have missed.

Added app to my google docs and on each use I get "We're sorry, a server error occurred while reading from storage. Error code PERMISSION_DENIED." which prevents the app from doing anything. I approved all requested permissions when installing. Useless.

Just tried 5 times to install this and kept getting the "This app is blocked" message. It seems to install properly and then you get a second request for log in. Thats where it all goes wrong. That's where it starts to feel like something dodgy is going on and you get that "This app is blocked message"

A script within this add-on requires sign in to run, but sign in has been disabled for this add-on because it is unverified by Google. Doesn't work at all.

I've tried it multiple times and it continues to say Google is blocking the app for security reasons.
