But as others have pointed out, those programs have limitations. Specifically, the Flesch-Kincaid scale seems to test artificially low. So I do hand calculations using SMOG. Recently I came across a program on the Internet called "Readability Plus" that provides eight readability formulas, including SMOG. The website is www.micropowerand light.com. I'm thinking about ordering this program and wonder if anyone else has used it and whether they find it useful?? Thanks in advance.
