How does the sentence counter handle abbreviations?

The tool uses intelligent algorithms to distinguish between abbreviations and actual sentence endings. It recognizes common abbreviations like 'Dr.', 'Mr.', 'vs.', 'etc.' and doesn't count them as sentence boundaries, ensuring accurate counting even in text with many abbreviations.

Does it count question marks and exclamation points as sentences?

Yes, the tool recognizes question marks (?) and exclamation points (!) as sentence endings, just like periods. This ensures accurate counting of interrogative and exclamatory sentences, making it suitable for all types of text content.

Can it handle quoted text and dialogue?

Yes, the tool properly handles text within quotation marks and dialogue. It recognizes sentence boundaries even when sentences span across quotes, ensuring accurate counting in creative writing, interviews, and dialogue-heavy content.

What other statistics does it provide besides sentence count?

Along with sentence count, the tool provides word count, character count (with and without spaces), paragraph count, average words per sentence, and reading time estimates. This comprehensive analysis helps with overall text assessment.

Is it suitable for academic writing requirements?
