Good to know
- A sentence ends at ".", "?" or "!" followed by a space or the end of the text. A number like 3.5 does not end a sentence.
- Abbreviations such as "e.g." followed by a space are counted as sentence ends.
- A text with no closing punctuation counts as 1 sentence, an empty box as 0.
Questions
How does the tool decide where a sentence ends?
At a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark that is followed by a space or the end of the text.
Are abbreviations a problem?
They can be. "e.g. this" looks like the end of a sentence to the counter, so the total can be a little high in texts full of abbreviations.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The sentences are counted by your browser and the text never leaves your device.
