Basic Language Complexity Tool.

Uses helper module syllables.py that is used in the function find_num_syllables() to find the syllables in a word.

When given text from the User, program outputs:

  • ASL (average sentence length)

  • PHW (percent hard words [number of words with three or more syllabes that do not contain a hyphen or end in -es or-ed] )

  • All the words that qualify as 'hard words'

  • ASYL (average number of syllables)

  • GFRI (0.4*(ASL + PHW))

  • FKRI (206.835-1.015*(ASL)-(86.4)*ASYL)

GFRI and FKRI are slightly modifed versions of well-known readability measures named Gunning-fog and Flesch Kincaid. In Gunning-fog, the higher the value calculated the more difficult it is to read a text, while for Flesch Kincaid it is the opposite.
