Introduction

This TYPO3 extension enables backend users to quickly check and improve the readability level of their content in TYPO3. A dashboard widget is also provided that provides an overview of the readability across all content in the CMS.

Organisations can use this extension to improve the accessibility of their websites according the the WCAG 2.1 guidelines (See section 3: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#readable)

Readability is measured according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). The CEFR organises language proficiency in six levels, A1 to C2.

Languages supported:

• Dutch,

• English

• German
