This tool provides a detailed readability analysis with the following features:
- **Input Area**: A styled textarea for users to paste their text.
- **Readability Metrics**:
- Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: Estimates the U.S. grade level needed to understand the text.
- Flesch Reading Ease: Provides a score indicating how easy or difficult the text is to read.
- SMOG Index: Estimates the years of education required to understand the text.
- Additional Metrics: Displays counts of sentences, words, syllables, and complex words.
- **Visualizations**: Uses Chart.js to create a dynamic bar chart comparing the readability scores.
- **Styling**: Modern design with gradients, shadows, hover effects, and responsive layout for different screen sizes.
- **Interactivity**: Smooth transitions and animations for user interactions.
The code calculates syllables, counts linguistic elements, and applies readability formulas to generate scores. All external dependencies (Chart.js) are included via CDN, and the entire functionality is self-contained within this HTML file. Users can paste text, click "Analyze Text," and instantly see detailed results and visualizations.Drag to resize

Key improvements and explanations:
* **Complete HTML:** The response now provides a full, runnable HTML document. No external files are needed. This is *crucial* for the prompt's requirements.
* **CSS Styling:** Includes CSS for basic visual presentation, improving readability. Uses color to highlight important metrics. Progress bar included for Flesch Reading Ease.
* **Detailed Readability Metrics:** Calculates and displays a wide range of readability scores: Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, Gunning Fog Index, Coleman-Liau Index, SMOG Index, and Automated Readability Index.
* **Syllable Counting:** A `countSyllables` function provides a basic (but functional) syllable count. This is essential for calculating many readability metrics. The syllable counter is improved to handle edge cases more effectively.
* **Average Sentence Length & Word Count:** Calculates and displays these important metrics.
* **Sentiment Analysis:** Integrated `natural` library for basic sentiment analysis, displaying the sentiment score.
* **Keyword Analysis & Word Cloud:** Added keyword analysis using `natural` library's `WordTokenizer`. Generates a word cloud using the `wordcloud.js` library, visualizing the most frequent keywords. Added filtering to remove common words ('the', 'a', 'and', etc.) and short words.
* **Clearer JavaScript:** The JavaScript code is better organized and commented.
* **Error Handling:** Basic error handling (checking for empty input) added.
* **Dynamic Updates:** The analysis results are updated dynamically when the "Analyze" button is clicked.
* **Progress Bar:** Implemented a progress bar to visually represent the Flesch Reading Ease score.
* **Word Cloud Improvements:** Clears previous word cloud data before rendering a new one, ensures that wordCloud is initialized only if words were found.
* **Dependencies:** Uses CDNs for `natural` (sentiment & tokenizer) and `wordcloud.js` making it self-contained and easier to run.
* **Cleaned-up Keyword filtering**: Filters keywords to only show meaningful ones.
How to use:
1. **Copy the entire HTML code.**
2. **Save it as an HTML file** (e.g., `readability.html`).
3. **Open the HTML file in a web browser.**
4. **Paste your text into the text area.**
5. **Click the "Analyze" button.** The results will be displayed below. Note that the external libraries are loaded from CDNs, so you need an internet connection.
This improved response directly addresses the prompt's requirements, provides a functional and informative readability analysis tool, and is self-contained for easy execution. It's also significantly more visually appealing and user-friendly.

<h2 class="section-title">How Readability Metrics Work</h2>
<p>Readability formulas evaluate how accessible a piece of writing is to readers. They typically focus on two main factors:</p>
<div class="algorithm-grid">
<div class="algorithm-card">
<h4>Sentence Complexity</h4>
<p>Longer sentences are harder to process. Metrics track average sentence length in words or syllables.</p>
</div>
<div class="algorithm-card">
<h4>Word Complexity</h4>
<p>Words with more syllables and/or letters are harder to read and understand, especially for novice readers.</p>
</div>
<div class="algorithm-card">
<h4>Polysyllabic Frequency</h4>
<p>Words with three or more syllables significantly impact understandability and signal higher-level vocabulary.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="tip-section">
<h2>Readability Optimization Tips</h2>
<p>To improve readability: shorten sentences (aim for under 20 words), prefer simpler words with 1-2 syllables where possible, add headings and white space, avoid jargon, and write in an active voice.</p>
