Frequently asked questions
Does the sentence count handle abbreviations like "Dr." or "e.g." correctly? The counter splits sentences on punctuation like periods, so abbreviations followed by a space can be miscounted as sentence breaks. Treat the sentence count as an approximation rather than an exact linguistic count.
What's the difference between the two character counts shown? One count includes every character including spaces, and the other excludes spaces — useful when a platform's limit is defined either way, such as SMS versus meta description limits.
