Why count sentences?
Sentence count is a quick proxy for readability and structure. Shorter sentences are usually easier to read, and many assignments, abstracts and summaries specify a sentence range. Counting them helps you meet the brief without padding.
The tool detects sentence boundaries from end punctuation, so it works for English and Arabic alike. Everything is calculated locally, so even long documents count instantly and privately.
Frequently asked questions
How does the sentence counter work?
It counts sentence-ending punctuation — periods, question marks, exclamation marks and the Arabic ؟ — to estimate how many sentences your text contains.
Is the sentence count always exact?
It's a close estimate. Abbreviations like “e.g.” or decimal points can occasionally affect the count, as they can with any automatic sentence detector.
Does it count paragraphs and words too?
Yes. Alongside sentences you'll see words, characters, paragraphs, lines, and reading time, all updating live.
Is it free and private?
Yes — completely free, no sign-up, and your text never leaves your browser.
