esltextstats

esltextstats provides small, dependency-free helpers for computing basic readability statistics on short English texts. It is aimed at learners and teachers of English as a second language who want a quick estimate of how hard a passage is to read.

Installation

# Enable this universe
options(repos = c(
  theluckystrike = "https://theluckystrike.r-universe.dev",
  CRAN = "https://cloud.r-project.org"
))

install.packages("esltextstats")

Usage

library(esltextstats)

text_stats("The cat sat. The dog ran fast.")
flesch_reading_ease("The cat sat on the mat. The dog ran fast.")

A higher Flesch Reading Ease score means the text is easier to read. Scores above 60 are generally comfortable for many non-native readers.
