A system for analyzing and prescribing content changes to achieve target readability level, comprising:

• a processing system;
• and
• a storage system having instructions stored thereon that when executed by the processing system, direct the system for analyzing and prescribing content changes to at least:
• evaluate a readability score for a file at least at a whole document level and a sentence level based on a designated readability index for scoring a complexity of content with respect to a reading level;
• identify one or more sentences that contribute to the file having the whole document level readability score outside a desired readability score of the readability index;
• provide, for display in a graphical user interface, a visual indicator for each of the identified one or more sentences;
• and
• re-evaluate the readability score for the file at the whole document level upon at least one of the identified one or more sentences being changed.

A computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, direct the computing system to:

• evaluate a readability score for a file at least at a whole document level and a sentence level based on a designated readability index for scoring a complexity of content with respect to a reading level;
• identify one or more sentences that contribute to the file having the whole document level readability score outside a desired readability score of the readability index;
• provide a visual indicator for each of the identified one or more sentences;
• request a rewrite of a selected identified sentence from a rewrite service;
• receive one or more rewrites of the selected identified sentence from the rewrite service;
• evaluate a sentence-level readability score for each rewrite of the one or more rewrites;
• rank the one or more rewrites based on the desired readability score according to their corresponding sentence-level readability scores;
• provide, for display, at least one of the one or more rewrites based on the ranking;
• and
• re-evaluate the readability score for the file at the whole document level upon at least one of the identified one or more sentences being changed.
