¿En qué se diferencia Raygor de Fry?
Raygor usa "palabras largas" (6+ letras) en vez de sílabas. Esto elimina el paso de contar sílabas pero pierde algo de precisión.
How do I read the Raygor graph?
Plot the average number of sentences per 100 words on one axis and the average number of letters per 100 words on the other. The point where they cross falls inside a numbered zone that estimates the grade level, and points outside the plotted curve indicate the sample is too inconsistent to score reliably.
How many samples should I take for Raygor?
Take at least three 100-word passages from the beginning, middle, and end of the text, then average them. A single passage can be skewed by an unusually short or long stretch of writing.
Why use letters instead of syllables?
Letters can be counted by software or by hand with far less ambiguity than syllables, which require pronunciation judgments. This makes Raygor faster and more consistent across different people scoring the same text.
