Does Articulate have a function that determines the literacy level of a video or text?
We are creating some patient videos and would like to determine the literacy level of the content. Does Articulate have a feature that can recognize content in a video or even text boxes to determine what its literacy level is?
I've tried learning about the Accessibility features, but haven't seen anything about this. Wondering if anyone out there knows.
Thank you!

Hi Eleanor, Take a look at this app: https://hemingwayapp.com/
It shows literacy levels and suggests alternatives for verbose, difficult sentence structure, and vocab., I am not sure what the levels are based on, and if they adhere to a standard.

Articulate 360 doesn't include tools for checking the literacy/reading level of text.
You could get that info from MS Word. Here are the details: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/get-your-document-s-readability-and-level-statistics-85b4969e-e80a-4777-8dd3-f7fc3c8b3fd2

Thank you so much, I was hoping Articulate had that feature, but I appreciate the confiramtion that it doesn't as well as the helpful link!

You could use the 'Translate/Export to Word"-option to turn your learning module into a word document and then use a tool native to MS Word to analyze the language level. See Judy's link for one possible tool to use.

That's a great idea! I hadn't thought of the Word conversion idea!
I appreciate your time & help!
