01

What it does

A readability analyzer for contracts and legal/business documents. It measures linguistic difficulty rather than whether the legal terms are good or bad.

02

How it works

The tool calculates document statistics and established readability formulas in your browser, then combines them with clauseInsight.com terminology and sentence heuristics.

03

What it looks for

Word and sentence counts, reading time, Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch–Kincaid grade, Gunning Fog, legalese density, passive-voice estimate, and the longest sentences.

04

Who it helps

Useful when you are editing contracts, policies, terms, proposals, or business documents and want to make the writing easier to navigate.

Document handling

Private by design.

For document-analysis tools, text is processed in your browser. clauseInsight.com does not intentionally upload document contents to a clauseInsight.com server for analysis. PDF parsing software is loaded only when required; the document itself remains in the browser for extraction and analysis.

FAQ

Useful answers, before you start.

clauseInsight.com is designed to be transparent about what each tool does—and what it does not do.

Does a low readability score mean a contract is bad?+

No. Some precise legal documents are necessarily complex. The score only describes reading difficulty using linguistic indicators.

Are the grade-level formulas exact?+

No. Readability formulas are approximations. They are most useful for comparing drafts and identifying areas that may be unnecessarily difficult.

Does the tool rewrite my contract?+

No. It suggests readability considerations but does not alter the document or provide legal recommendations.
