Abstract

Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: obtaining an input text for an output speech. The number of words and syllables are counted in each sentence, and a mean sentence length of the input text is calculated. Each sentence length is checked against the mean sentence length and a variation for each sentence is calculated. For the input text, the consumability-readability score is produced as an average of variations for all sentences in the input text. The consumability-readability score indicates the level of satisfaction for the listener of the output speech based on the input text.
