Score Text

Score the readability, skimmability, interestingness, and style of a text. The readability score is based on the average length of the sentences and the average length of the words in the text. The text is scored with multiple readability scores such as Flesch, Smog, ARI, LIX, Kincaid, Fog, and Coleman Liau. Additionally, information such as the estimated reading time in seconds is returned.
