ARTE: Automatic Readability tool for english

Picture
The Automatic Readability Tool for English (ARTE) will automatically calculate a variety of readability formulas for texts. The readability formulas include classic formulas like Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, SMOG, and Dale-Chall along with new formulas like the Coh-Metrix L2 Readability Index (CML2RI) and the Crowdsourced Algorithm of Reading Comprehension (CAREC) 

ARTE takes plain text files as input (it will process all plain text files in a particular folder) and produces a comma separated values (.csv) spreadsheet that is easily read by any spreadsheet software.
