About this Sentence Counter
The Sentence Counter provides a quick estimate of how many sentences are in a text block. It is useful for writing reviews, content checks and basic readability workflows where an approximate sentence count is sufficient.

How the calculation works
The tool looks for common sentence-ending punctuation such as periods, question marks and exclamation marks. Abbreviations and unusual punctuation can make any simple automatic count approximate.
How to use it
- Paste or type your text.
- The counter updates as you type.
- Review the estimated sentence total.
Practical example
“Hello world. How are you?” is counted as two sentences.
