Text Readability
by SiteCheck in Search & web
Readability of a text in pure code: Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid grade, Gunning Fog, SMOG, Coleman-Liau and ARI, with counts of characters, words, sentences, syllables and complex words, and reading and speaking time. English formulas; other languages get counts only. Syllables are counted by a vowel-group heuristic, so scores are estimates. Up to 100 KB.

}Call it from code
The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.001.
