What Textivo is
Textivo is a German-language SaaS platform available on the web and as a browser extension, combining reading-time, readability, grammar, and style checks. Its reading-time calculator identifies text type and estimates duration using type-specific reading speeds. Readability analysis includes Flesch-Reading-Ease, LIX, and Wiener Sachtextformel scores, with sentence-level findings and improvement suggestions. The LanguageTool-based grammar checker flags spelling, grammar, punctuation, and style issues, grouping errors with correction suggestions; Textivo says it includes more than 2,000 German-specific rules. Transfer links move text between modules without re-entry. Checks can handle up to 50,000 characters, while the Free plan allows 10,000 characters per check and three checks per day per module. Free history lasts seven days; Text-Abo history lasts 12 months. A seven-day trial includes Text-Abo features and switches to Free automatically. Servers are in Frankfurt, LanguageTool is self-hosted, texts are not sent to third parties, and data remains within the EU. Textivo was founded in 2006 in Langen, Germany.
