Sentence Counter
Count the exact number of sentences in any text. Useful for writing analysis, checking readability, and meeting document requirements.
What Does This Tool Do?
This tool counts the number of sentences in your text by detecting sentence-ending punctuation — periods, exclamation marks, and question marks. It gives you a total sentence count along with the average sentence length in words.

How It Works

Common Use Cases
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it count sentence fragments?
The tool counts every occurrence of sentence-ending punctuation. Fragments that end with a period, !, or ? are counted as sentences.
What about abbreviations like "Dr." or "e.g."?
Abbreviations with periods may occasionally be counted as sentence endings. This is a limitation of pattern-based detection.
