S. Jones and others,

There are software products that allow one to type in (not scan) text and
which review the text using all the major readability scales.  These will
report out on individual scales and will also provide an average
readability level using more than one scale.  I have not seen software
that will allow one to scan in text. Your question however, might be a
good one to also ask on two other e-lists: NIFL-technology and NIFL-LD.
