How Sentence Counting Works
Sentences are detected by looking for punctuation marks that typically end sentences: periods (.), question marks (?), and exclamation points (!). Abbreviations and decimal numbers containing periods may cause the counter to split text incorrectly — this is a known limitation of punctuation-based sentence detection.
The average words per sentence metric helps gauge readability. Lower averages (under 15 words) indicate simpler, easier-to-read text, while higher averages (over 25 words) suggest more complex writing.
FAQ
- Why might the count seem off? Text with abbreviations (e.g., "Dr.", "U.S.A.") or numbers (e.g., "3.14") may be split at those periods, leading to an over-count.
- Does my text leave my browser? No. All processing is local.
- What counts as a paragraph? A non-empty line of text. Blank lines separate paragraphs.
