Frequently asked questions
How does the counter detect sentences?
Text is split at sentence-ending punctuation (. ! ?) followed by whitespace or the end of the text. Common abbreviations such as Mr., Mrs., Dr., e.g., i.e. and etc. are recognized and do not trigger a false sentence break.
Is my text uploaded to a server?
No. All counting happens with plain JavaScript in your browser — your text never leaves this page and nothing is uploaded or stored anywhere.
What counts as a word?
Anything separated by whitespace counts as one word. Characters are counted exactly as typed, including spaces and line breaks.
