Writing for the ear is different from writing for the page. Paste your script and get a clarity grade plus specific fixes for spoken delivery.
Solid for spoken delivery. Minor tightening will help.
A clear script is only the start.
Orai checks whether it lands out loud - flagging filler, pace, and unclear moments as you rehearse.
Writing a speech for the ear
Text that reads beautifully on paper can collapse when spoken aloud. Listeners can't re-read a sentence, so long, clause-heavy sentences lose them. This checker scores your script with the Flesch reading-ease formula and flags the patterns that trip up spoken delivery: sentences over about 20 words, a high share of multi-syllable words, and dense paragraphs with nowhere to breathe.
Aim for a reading ease of 60 or higher - roughly an eighth-grade level. Short sentences, everyday words, and a conversational rhythm almost always outperform formal prose on stage. Read your draft out loud; if you run out of breath or stumble, your audience will too.
