TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In the light of what other people have said, perhaps you could use the
simple fog index formula (I think Word will even do it for you...). That
would give you a sanity check, while not making the thing overly
complicated.
Colleagues,
Here is a question that I'm sure has been asked in the past. We
develop
technical training for human resource management system software and
payroll software and have a very diverse audience. One of the
"standards" that we are in the process of discussing across our
business
units is that of readability levels. So, to be brief, would you please
share with me the readability levels you target for specific
audiences
and/or cite other sources that may have that information? We would
greatly appreciate your insights.
Regards,
David B. Dubin
