Ensure your messaging is SPOT on
See SPOT read your release like every reader
Readability Score reads your press release the way three different audiences would. It weighs vocabulary, sentence structure and jargon, scores the release for novice, intermediate and expert readers, and tells you what to change.
There is no single right reading level
An earnings release is written for investors and IR professionals, so it will carry more technical language. A product launch should read easily for anyone, which also widens your audience and keeps the text easy for AI to parse. Readability Score shows where your release lands for each audience, so you can decide how accessible it should be and fix it before you submit.
PR teams
Accessible copy reaches more readers and is easier for AI engines to quote.
IR teams
See where technical language is earning its place and where it is just dense.
Every account
An optional add-on: switch it on in the Optimize step.
What it reads
Only your story is scored. Standard text that every release carries is left out, so it cannot drag the score down.
- Vocabulary complexity
- Sentence length and structure
- Industry jargon and acronyms
- How the release reads for novice, intermediate and expert readers
- Skips boilerplate, About Us, contact blocks and safe harbor language
- Skips forward-looking statements, legal and regulatory notices
What you get
A clear read on accessibility, and the specific changes that improve it.
Three scores
One for each reader level: novice, intermediate and expert.
Scoring guidelines
What each score means, so the numbers are easy to act on.

Three steps to see SPOT read
Readability Score runs in the Optimize step when you submit a release.
Build your content
Write or upload your release as usual.
Switch it on
Add Readability Score in the Optimize step.
Revise and submit
Work through the recommendations, then send the release to editorial.
Submitting a regulated release? Recommendations never replace required disclosure language. Use your own judgment when applying AI suggestions.
