How to use the Sentence Counter
- Paste your text.
- See the number of sentences, average words per sentence and the longest sentences.
- Shorten very long sentences to improve readability.
Sentences are detected with your browser’s language-aware text segmentation, which understands common abbreviations better than simply splitting on full stops. Average sentence length is a simple readability signal: many style guides recommend an average of 15 to 20 words.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the count slightly different from my word processor?
Abbreviations, decimal numbers and quotes can be interpreted differently by different programs. Check the list of detected sentences if a count looks wrong.
