What Does “Readability Level” Mean?

When using the Humanizer, the Readability Level controls how your rewritten text sounds, adjusting vocabulary, sentence structure, and tone to match your intended audience. Importantly, it affects style, not meaning.


How to Choose the Right Readability Level


Level

Description

High School

Simple and casual. Good for general summaries or casual writing.

University

Clean and moderately formal. Perfect for essays, reports, or everyday academic use.

Doctorate

Dense, technical, and advanced. For high-level research, citations, or complex arguments. Be cautious as it may increase detection risk.

Journalist

Direct, sharp, and reader-friendly. Great for articles, blog posts, or editorials.

Marketing

Energetic and persuasive. Adds flow and appeal. Use for emails, web copy, and promotions.



Quick Tips


  • Pick based on who’s going to read your text.
  • Avoid Doctorate if your goal is to stay under AI detection radar, it may sound too sophisticated.
  • High School and Journalist tend to be safest for detection and clarity.
  • Try different levels and compare until you find the right tone for your content.


Walter adjusts sentence complexity, vocabulary, and structure based on the level you choose, but it doesn’t check facts or add new information. The meaning stays the same. You’re still responsible for reviewing content and making sure it says what you intend.
