Sentence counter.

What it does. Counts the sentences in your text by splitting on full stops, question marks and exclamation points, and reports the total live.

How to use it. Paste a paragraph or a whole draft to see how many sentences you have. Read it next to the word count: the two together give your average sentence length, and anything above roughly 25 words per sentence on average is worth a second look.

Why it matters. Sentence count is the quickest X-ray of rhythm. Thirty long sentences in a row read very differently from a deliberate mix, and editors feel the difference before they can name it.

Your data. The tool runs entirely in your browser - text you paste never leaves the page, and nothing is uploaded to a server.

Good to know

Ellipses, abbreviations like Dr. and decimal points can each fake a sentence break in mechanical counting - the number errs slightly high on abbreviation-heavy text, which is the safe direction for length limits.

Where this fits

Counting tools answer one question precisely: how much? They matter at the boundaries - the limit on a form, the length an editor asked for, the session you promised yourself. Used once, a counter answers a question; used as a habit, it keeps your work inside the frames that get it read.
