Optimizing Mobile Readability for AI-Generated Text

When designing mobile experiences for AI-generated text

clarity must come first.

Smartphone displays have limited space,

and users often consume content on the go,

so users must absorb information without strain.

Structure content in bite-sized sections.

Aim for two to four sentences per paragraph

to prevent visual overload.

Dense paragraphs require constant vertical navigation

and can lead to fatigue.

Write in a natural, everyday tone.

Machine-generated text tends to be verbose or academic,

but ease of understanding matters more than elegance.

Explain specialized vocabulary

and skip acronyms unless context makes them obvious.

If a concept is complex,

consider using bullet points to separate ideas.

Bullet points are easier to scan than dense paragraphs

and improve retention during brief scans.

Text size is crucial.

Use at least 16px for readable text

Smaller fonts require users to zoom in,

breaking immersion and concentration.

Select legible sans-serif options including system-standard typefaces

built for mobile rendering.

Steer clear of ornamental or cursive styles

that are elegant on tablets but unreadable on smartphones.

Use generous leading for better flow.

Maintain spacing at 1.5–1.7x the text size

to prevent visual crowding.

Tight spacing makes text feel cramped

and causes reading fatigue,

especially when users are distracted or in motion.

Insert clear section headers.

Even when AI delivers unbroken text,

structure it with clear, concise headings.

They serve as navigational cues for users

enabling quick navigation to relevant sections.

Limit titles to fewer than ten words

and use title case for consistency.

Minimize deeply indented or layered content.

Mobile users prefer straightforward, linear content.

When lists are unavoidable,

keep items between five and seven.

Choose minimalistic markers like • or 1.

avoid nested symbols or stylized lists.

If the Automatic AI Writer for WordPress generates a table or chart,

convert it into a simplified list or summary

unless the information is meaningless without graphics.

Evaluate on actual smartphones.

Emulators offer preliminary insights,

but nothing replaces reading on an actual phone in different lighting conditions.

Ask users to read your AI-generated content aloud

or explain the main ideas after one skim.

If comprehension falters, revise aggressively.

Finally, remember that AI text often lacks human rhythm.

Listen to how it sounds when spoken.

Does it flow like casual conversation?

Does it mirror spoken language?

Rewrite to match human cadence.

The goal isn’t just to be understood

—it’s to resonate without strain.

Prioritizing legibility respects the user’s time and mental energy

and crafting each sentence with care.
