Frequently asked questions
How are sentences detected?
Sentences are identified by ending punctuation such as periods, question marks, and exclamation points.
Can abbreviations cause miscounts?
Occasionally, since a period after an abbreviation like 'Mr.' can be mistaken for a sentence end, so treat the count as a close estimate rather than an exact figure.
