Description
Return long-word fraction from supplied counts.
Communication measurements need an explicit event origin, clock correction, count unit and exposure denominator. Timing and coverage records can be summarized without detecting actual speech, verifying message delivery or determining readability, accessibility or communication quality.
Return long-word fraction from supplied counts.
When to use this tool
Use Plain Language Long Word Share when checking the stated communication timing, rate, representation or coverage convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter longWords, totalWords. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read fraction. Use the output convention below.
Return long-word fraction from supplied counts. Require whole totalWords >= 1 and longWords within total; fraction = long/total.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| longWords | Long Words | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| totalWords | Total Words | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| fraction | Fraction | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The long-word definition and counts are supplied; this is not a readability score or plain-language compliance assessment.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use actual synchronized media/message records, appropriate text measurement and user evaluation for complete communication or accessibility assessment.
