How Does the Catile Score Work?

Catile evaluates texts based on four key factors:

  • Decoding Ease — Measures how easy it is for readers to decode the text.
  • Vocabulary Familiarity — Assesses the complexity and familiarity of the words used.
  • Sentence Complexity — Looks at the structural difficulty of sentences.
  • Repetition Patterns — Analyzes how often structures or words repeat, influencing comprehension.

This comprehensive approach provides a richer understanding of text complexity than a single numeric score alone.
