Are there any automated tools to test web pages or electronic documents for WCAG Level AAA Unusual Words other than to read the content yourself? I am just wondering are there automated tools that can scan through a web page or document and pick up idioms, jargon and words used in an unusual or restricted way?

The only tools I am aware of are readability analyzers.
E.g. https://readabilityformulas.com/free-readability-formula-tests.php
I've never done this for my audits, can't focus on AAA, but some of
our content authors use tools like these when writing publications.

is a readability analyzer that's pretty easy to use. I'm not sure it's
what you're looking for ...
