About Sentence Counter
Measure Text Segment Length
The Sentence Counter is a straightforward utility that counts the number of sentences in your text input. While word counts are common, sentence counts give you a better idea of the "density" of your ideas. Many short sentences can feel choppy; a few long sentences can be exhausting to read.
Detection Logic
The tool identifies sentences by looking for terminal punctuation marks: periods (.), exclamation points (!), and question marks (?). It is smart enough to handle common abbreviations (like "Mr." or "U.S.") without falsely breaking the sentence, ensuring an accurate count.
Why it matters
In web writing, short sentences effectively keep the reader's attention. A good rule of thumb is to aim for an average of 15-20 words per sentence. Use this count in conjunction with the word count to check your average.
