About this tool
The Sentence Counter estimates how many sentences are in a block of text by detecting sentence-ending punctuation. It is useful for checking readability or meeting sentence-count requirements for writing assignments.
Frequently asked questions
How are sentences detected?
Sentences are counted by detecting periods, question marks and exclamation marks that end a group of words.
Does this handle abbreviations correctly?
Simple abbreviations like 'e.g.' or 'Mr.' can occasionally be counted as sentence breaks, since detecting every exception isn't possible with punctuation alone. Treat the count as a close estimate.
Is my text sent to a server?
No, counting happens locally in your browser as you type.
