Catile is developed by combining methodologies from multiple published research papers about text complexity. We adopted a similar grading scale with Lexile and used it as our benchmark. So you can expect the Catile score of a passage to be very close to the corresponding Lexile level.

The CEFR levels in the result will have one decimal place indicating the learning stage within the level scale. For example, A2.7 means the level is A2 and is at the higher end of A2; C1.1 means the level is C1 and is at the lower end of C1.

Cathoven’s CEFR analyser is fully compatible with the CEFR standard, built upon internal and public scientific research.

 

Compared to any other analyser, Cathoven is much more comprehensive. Therefore, results may not be exactly the same.

 

As you are aware, other analysers base the final CEFR level solely on a limited vocabulary list.

 

What makes a text difficult is not only the individual vocabulary but also grammar points, sentence structures, phrases, and so on. Cathoven takes all of these factors into account. In terms of vocabulary, we have the most comprehensive database globally, and additionally, we can estimate the CEFR levels of words that don’t have any level assigned in dictionaries.
This is why researchers in top universities and large education companies prefer us. You can check some of the papers that used Cathoven here: Papers Quoted
