“…Existing literature reflects the fact that applications that leverage text complexity analysis, including book recommendation or categorization (Lexile, 2016;Pera and Ng, 2014), Web result summarization (Kanungo and Orr, 2009), and accessibility in the health domain (Bernstam et al, 2005;Fitzsimmons et al, 2010), still favor less precise but easier to implement alternatives, with Flesch as the most accepted choice (Ballesteros-Peña and Fernández-Aedo, 2013;Bea-Muñoz et al, 2015). We argue that this is caused by the uncertainty induced by the lack of uniformity of readability scales, adaptability among readability assessment tools, and benchmarks.…”

“…A recent study about readability of downloadable documents from the Internet with information about SCI in Spanish reveals a somewhat difficult readability and a mean of 51.56 in the Flesch-Szigriszt index. 41 In our study, the mean of the Flesch-Szigriszt index is 48.22, which indicates a somewhat difficult readability according to the INFLESZ scale. The above mentioned study 40 about the readability of English websites offering information to spinal cord-injured patients obtained an average of 40.2 in the Flesch index and a Flesch-Kincaid score of 11.9, which is far above the average reading level of the American population, between 7th and 8th grade.…”

“…Only a recent article studies the readability of leaflets and downloadable documents with information on SCI in Spanish. 41 Therefore, the objective of our study is to search the Internet looking for websites in Spanish with patient information about SCI.

Lo interesante e innovador del instrumento Inflesz es que adapta la fórmula de la perspicuidad a la realidad española, adecuando su escala a los hábitos de lectura de los ciudadanos españoles y su Sistema Educativo 115,177 .…”
