Count Sentences Online

A sentence counter helps you count the number of sentences in an article, essay, email, or any other text. This free Count sentences tool updates instantly and processes your text entirely in your browser.

⭐ How the sentence counter works

The tool recognizes sentence-ending punctuation such as periods, exclamation marks, and question marks. Multiple consecutive marks, such as three exclamation marks, count as one sentence ending.

🔎 Accurate sentence detection

The counter avoids treating every period as a sentence. Periods in decimal numbers, web addresses, and common abbreviations are handled as part of the surrounding text instead of being counted by themselves.

⚙️ Count number of sentences instantly

Type or paste text into the input area and the sentence count changes as you edit. Use Clear to reset the text and start a new count. No upload, account, or manual calculation is needed.

💡 Sentence counter example

The text Hello. How are you? I am fine! contains three sentences. A text such as This is great!!! contains one sentence because consecutive punctuation marks belong to the same sentence ending.
