About this tool
This tool splits your text at full stops, question marks and exclamation marks and counts each complete chunk as a sentence. It also reports the total words and the average words per sentence, so you can see at a glance whether your sentences run long or stay short.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as a sentence ending?
A full stop, question mark or exclamation mark. Abbreviations with full stops can be split apart, so check results for texts full of initials.
Does it count a sentence without ending punctuation?
Yes, if the final chunk has words but no ending mark, it is still counted as a sentence.
