Questions
How is a sentence detected?
Any run of text ending with a period, exclamation mark, or question mark counts as one sentence. A trailing fragment without terminal punctuation also counts as one sentence.
Why does my text show more sentences than expected?
Abbreviations and ellipses that end with a period can be counted as sentence boundaries. Removing trailing punctuation from abbreviations usually resolves this.
Does this work on non-English text?
Yes, as long as the text uses standard terminal punctuation. The counter looks for . ! ? regardless of language.
Is anything uploaded or stored?
No. The counter runs entirely in your browser; your text never leaves your device.
