README

Readability for Craft CMS

Readability is a Craft CMS plugin that gives Twig practical measures for the text a site publishes. Estimate reading time, count the building blocks, and apply established readability scores without sending content to another service.

Calculate an estimated reading duration and display it beside an article, guide, or lesson. Character, word, sentence, and syllable counts can support editorial displays or project-specific rules.

Features

• Estimate how long a passage is likely to take to read.
• Measure characters when length constraints or summaries need them.
• Count the words in rendered or stored text.
• Use syllable estimates as an input to readability analysis.
• Analyse content inside the application instead of sending it to an external API.
