DocomintSentence Counter
Count the number of sentences in a block of text instantly, right in your browser.
Editors and writing tools sometimes flag paragraphs with too many long sentences in a row — this gives you a quick sentence count so you can sanity-check pacing without running a full readability scorer.
Example: A paragraph reading "Wait. Really? Yes! I'm serious." counts as 4 sentences, split on each period, question mark, and exclamation point, even though some are just a single word.

Frequently asked questions
How are sentences detected?
Sentences are split on ".", "!", and "?". Abbreviations like "Dr." or a decimal number can occasionally be miscounted as a sentence break, so treat the count as a close estimate for informal text.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No — Sentence Counter runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript/WebAssembly. Your text is never sent to a server.
Does this get confused by abbreviations like 'Dr.' or 'e.g.'?
It can — since it splits on any period, an abbreviation followed by a space can occasionally register as a sentence break. For text with heavy abbreviation use, treat the count as a close estimate rather than exact.
