What it is for and how it works
Counting words helps you meet limits (a summary, an essay, a product description), estimate how long a reading or speech will last and spot writing habits, such as repeating a word too often.
Sentence counting relies on your browser’s segmentation rules, so it handles abbreviations better than a simple count of periods.
